Configure fails on 32-bit platform

  As written above, this is for C compilers. But GMP also has assembler

  That said, perhaps GMP might be improved to detect the ABI by a
  simple parsing of $CFLAGS when provided by the user (in case values
  like -m32 or -m64 are standard). The reason is that the user could
  have a generic CFLAGS for various software, while AFAIK, ABI is
  specific to GMP.

That would be nice but unfortunately is not going to work.

We use "ABI" in a somewhat non-standard way.  It mainly refers to the
limb size.  The same exact compiler flags might be correct for several
choices of "ABI".
