Continuous build farm, they posted to the gmp and mpfr lists a few days 
ago.

I am afraid I don't know what to look for. There are not many changes. The 
main one is that for solaris and darwin, i386 is conditionally replaced 
with x86_64. There is also some shuffling of cases, and adding platforms I 
had never heard about. I'd say the unsafest part is the removal of a bit 
of code that seemed to deal mostly with the a.out format on linux.
