With 5.1.3 config.guess returned "powerpc970", but the code in config.guess 
changed a little with 6.0.0.

The problem with the 6.0.0 version of config.guess seems to be this line:

   970??)   exact_cpu="powerpc970" ;;

Change that to:

   970)   exact_cpu="powerpc970" ;;

and we get the correct result:

sis at debian-sis:~/comp/gmp-6.0.0$ ./config.guess
powerpc970-unknown-linux-gnu
