Comment:

 The Linux builds are done on a Debian/stable machine, and Debian stable
 has GMP 4. It's inevitable that binary builds will only work on some
 machines, but we are happy to put up alternative builds from other people
 on the download page.

 Alternatively, your distribution will probably provide a working ghc
 package.
