  have there. If and when problems occur I have been pointed in that
  direction over and over. I don't like it, but such is life with
  bootstrapping gcc.
  
We're sadly aware of GCC's loud recommendation of severely obsolete
software.

The right approach for GCC is to use a modern GMP, compile it with
--disable-assembly, and link to it statically.
