The GMP project needs help with porting to Pentium M
(aka Centrino, aka Dothan).

If you have some sort of Pentium M, please help.

1. Run config.guess from gmp 4.1.4 and send us the output.

2. Compile this C code, run it and send us the output.

3. Build and test the gmp 4.1.4 sources with this script.  There
   are some instructions in the beginning of the script.

The purpose of these tests is to make config.guess properly
identify these processors, and to check which assembly variants
seem to be the best.  In particular, we'd like to figure out if
the SSE2 code is better than the traditional Pentium 3 code.
