6. The t-limbs test triggers an assert. It looks like any config could
trigger this, but thus far it has only happened on
shell.gmplib.org-dyn-gcc49-g++49:64, ivydeb32v7.gmplib.org-stat-fat:32.
To save me time, I checked in a trivial change to a mini-gmp's Makefile
allowing the separate build of tests. This gives the test system a
chance to bump off t-limbs which fails for a new config each night with
the same bogus assert. (This mechanism exist to allow testing for
configs with broken environments. It is usually used selectively.)
I will create a separate ChangeLog in mini-gmp's subdirectory and move
mini-gmp entries into it. I think we should also consider making
mini-gmp a separate GNU project. Doing that might be good for its
visibility, and also make users realise that it is in fact a separate
project with different development principles and quality requirements.
