First two general points:

1. To track down problems with the configure run, it's usually helpful
   to examine config.log, to see which command failed, and what error
   messages it gave.

2. For help with gmp installation issues, the gmp-discuss list is a more
   appropriate forum than gmp-bugs.

I guess this means that the program "nm" (for listing the symbols in an
object file) is not installed or not found. It's usually part of the GNU
binutils package. Check config.log to see what really goes wrong.

And this might be a symptom of the same problem.

On ubuntu or debian, I think an easy way to get all build dependencies
is something like

  apt-get install build-essential
  apt-get build-dep gmp
