Yes, my main concern is whether I should let people notice that the 
testsuite is failing so they try a more recent compiler, or work around it 
by disabling the use of __builtin_constant_p for 3.4.* (and anything

which last I checked didn't work with the master repos ;-)
(it doesn't understand the instruction jb,pt in mpn/x86_64/mod_34lsub1.asm 
(and neither does oracle))

Note that people who accept gplv2 but not gplv3 are fairly likely to be 
unhappy with gmp anyway...
