[Olexa Bilaniuk]

This is merely to announce that every GMP 5.0.0 nightly prior to
gmp-5.0.0-20100116.tar.lz (Jan 16, 2010), together with all builds of GMP
4.4.-1 after 20091106 (Nov 6, 2009) inclusive, configured with ./configure
--prefix=$BUILDDIR --enable-cxx --target=x86_64-apple-darwin10.2.0
--build=x86_64-apple-darwin10.2.0 --host=x86_64-apple-darwin10.2.0 on a
Macbook6,1 (Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn) using the compiler GCC 4.4.3 (the GNU's
GCC, not Apple's, which is bundled in Xcode) fails with the very same error
when make is issued on it,
