Cross compile shared libraries for ARM

[Danilo Câmara]

I don't know if it's an issue with the libtool or with the GMP
configure. When I run configure I get the output below stating libtool
doesn't supports shared libraries. If I proceed with make, the static
library compiles successfully, but I need the shared one.

Any help?

Thanks
