gmpbench: Ultra40 Solaris10 Studio11

[Myria]

Mac uses BSD binutils instead of GNU binutils, despite using GCC.  The 
assembly code won't assemble because its references to the global offset 
table aren't understood by BSD "as".

If you hack "configure" to make a C-only makefile on Intel Mac, it compiles 
and passes "make test".  PowerPC Macs compile and test GMP without issue.
