GMP test suite failures on Ubuntu 16.04 on virtual box

[Will Galway]

You should provide us with the information requested in the "reporting 
bugs" section of the manual:

   https://gmplib.org/manual/Reporting-Bugs.html#Reporting-Bugs

Your use of "/media/sf_edrive/" indicates that you are using a 
VirtualBox "shared folder", i.e., a folder within the Windows file 
system that's shared with your virtual machine.  Shared folders have 
sometimes been problematic for me.  (Unfortunately I cannot recall any 
details.)

I suggest that you try installing gmp on your "local" drive and test 
it.  That should make it clear as to whether-or-not it's a shared folder 
issue.  (In fact, I'm surprised that you haven't installed it in some 
place like /usr/local/...)
