I have seen this error message on mac OS 10.4.9 before, when I had  
done a 64-bit build of GMP and was trying to link my own code to it.  
I was building my code as 64-bit and I got the above error. I found  
the solution was to explicitly use the -m64 flag for the *linker*  
(which doesn't seem to be necessary on other platforms).

I have no idea if that's your problem, if not I'm sorry for wasting  
your time.
