Daniel,
  Assuming you must use gmp 4.3.2 and that you are on MacOS X with
an llvm based compiler, try the attached patch to configure. The problem with
older gmp (this issue is fixed in current gmp 5.0.5) on darwin, is that the
configure test for checking how to switch to read-only data section was
incorrectly constructed for llvm-based compilers. Since this issue has been fixed
there are no real issues with gmp on darwin (despite the grumbling from the
developer).
