Athlon XP-2000 running Debian Linux:

It works except "make allprogs" in tests/devel, which I assume is not
meant for users. Here's a summary of actions:

  $ tar jxf gmp-4.1.2-rc1.tar.bz2
  $ chmod -R a-w gmp-4.1.2-rc1
  $ mkdir bin.gmp-4.1.2-rc1
  $ cd bin.gmp-4.1.2-rc1
  $ ../gmp-4.1.2-rc1/config.guess
  athlon-pc-linux-gnu
  $ ../gmp-4.1.2-rc1/configure --enable-mpfr --enable-assert
  (ok)
  $ make
  (ok)
  $ make check
  (ok)
  $ cd demos
  $ make allprogs
  (ok)
  $ cd ../tune
  $ make allprogs
  (ok)
  $ cd ../tests/rand
  $ make allprogs
  (ok)
  $ cd ../devel
  $ make allprogs
  ../../../gmp-4.1.2-rc1/tests/devel/add_n.c:55: #error "Don't know
CLOCK of your machine"
  make: *** [add_n.o] Error 1
