Sigh.

#! /bin/sh
mv /usr/local/lib/{,old}libgmp.a
mv /usr/local/include/{,old}gmp.h
cd /usr/local/src/gmp-test
./Configure
make install
mv /usr/local/lib/libgmp{,-test}.a
mv /usr/local/include/gmp{,-test}.h
mv /usr/local/lib/{old,}libgmp.a
mv /usr/local/include/{old,}gmp.h


I think that does precisely what you asked for, modulo compilation
and installation errors in your test version.
