It might be of some help to find out precisely which instruction that is
(it might be an instruction generated by the compiler, or in one of
gmp's assembly files). Ensure that you get proper corefiles, then run
gdb on the failing test program and core file, and do something like

  p $pc
  disassemble

Most likely, gmp was configured to use instructions which aren't
implemented in the (virtual) cpu where you build and test it. This could
be a bug in gmp's configuration machinery, or a bug in the
virtualization environment, or some user error.

It's primarily the (virtual) machine where the tests fail which is
relevant.
