How to compile gmp for arm?

Looks like libtool has rather rudely stripped -mbig-endian there.  If
it makes a difference you might need to hide that in a script (see
"Compiler link options" in the "Known Build Problems" section of the
gmp manual).

Strange, dunno what that means.

You might have to start by seeing if it can create a shared library
out of an object like foo.o at all,

	armv4b-unknown-linux-gcc -shared foo.o -o libfoo.so

To get something working perhaps configure gmp with --disable-shared
to use only plain libgmp.a.
