Bad GMP build using Xcode 2.3 on Apple PowerMac G5

[Wade Williams]

FYI:

This is true only when building with the 64-bit ABI.

If you do:

export ABI=32
./configure --enable-cxx --enable-shared

Then it will build fine and pass all tests.  Obviously if your  
application requires the 64-bit ABI, then this solution will not be  
appropriate.
