Hmm, but with that proposed patch, configure later fails with

checking size of void *... 16
checking size of unsigned short... 2
checking size of unsigned... 4
checking size of unsigned long... 8
checking size of mp_limb_t... 8
configure: error: Oops, mp_limb_t is 64 bits, but the assembler code
in this configuration expects 32 bits.


configure --disable-assembly does allow to build the library, but then 
quite a few tests fail with "bus error": t-toom6h, t-toom8h, t-toom8-sqr, 
t-div, t-mulmod_bnm1, ..., t-sizeinbase.

So more work is needed on the GMP side :-(

I think it is possible to use a more traditional ABI on this computer, but 
that's not interesting.
