Currently, the gmplib.org top-level page says:
[2006-05-04] GMP does not build on MacInteltosh machines.
No fix planned for GMP 4.x.
It's true that the unpatched gmp-4.2.1 does not build on
Intel-based
Mac OS X systems; however, a patch is available. Moreover,
straightforward
instructions for applying that patch and successfully
building GMP (and
passing "make check", naturally) can be readily
downloaded at:
http://images.apple.com/acg/pdf/MP_Floating_Point_
20070313.pdf
Since the only real problem with GMP on Intel-based OS X is
finding
that PDF, the statement "No fix planned for GMP
4.x" is misleading.
It would be more accurate, and much more helpful, to say
something like
[2007-xx-xx] Building GMP on Intel-based Mac OS X systems
requires a patch.
Complete instructions can be found in <A
HREF="http://images.apple.com/acg/pdf/MP_F
loating_Point_20070313.pdf">this PDF</A>.
