The compiler fails when trying to optimize the following code for some 64 
bit targets:

extern void g(void);

void f (void)
{
         unsigned long n=1;
         do {
                 g();
                 n += 2;
         } while (n != 1);
}

I have reported this to Sun. You can ignore this error in make check, it 
does not affect the gmp library.
