  Uh uh, this does not look like very successful builds.
  
  How do the hydra people handle this, do they expect us to attempt to dig
  out information, or do they create bug reports from their failures?
  
  The former method seems unworkable, since typical failures will be due
  to user environment problems.

It seems that they indeed do not build GMP as documented.

(1) If I understand their logs correctly, they overwrite our
    config.guess with configfsf.guess.

(2) They seem to override the options we pass on Darwin, probably
    causing a 32-build to fail.

Clearly, overwriting critical files and overriding options will cause
failures.  We cannot do better than ignore such failures, of course.
