Errors making GMP621 on SCO Openserver 6.

[Jack Tearle]

I deleted /bin/sh, and linked /bin/bash to /bin/sh, and then re-ran the 
entire installation in a new directory.

The results are not quite the same.  The .libs directory is now created, 
but it is empty and assert.o and the rest of the programs listed below 
still have the Oct 11 2021 date and only exist in the root directory 
(/tmp/gmp621).

Let me know if you need the new config and make logs.
