And to be a bit less sarcastic: Fairly recent Apple compilers have had
bugs making them miscompile GMP. Most likely explanation for the
reported problem is that your user has a buggy version of the compiler
installed. So try a different compiler. And if you suspect it's a
genuine GMP bug, please follow bug reporting instructions in the fine
manual.
