Ah, I suspect that the system GMP is being picked up before the one
installed with GHC, probably because of a -L option on the GHC command
line.  The fix should be to either remove the offending -L option (it
must be a duplicate), or to add another -L option pointing to GHC's
libraries before the offending -L option on the command line.
