x64 linux, x86 program and libgmp shared library

[Christian Maeder]

I think, libgmp.so* should be available under /usr/lib64/ if you use ghc.

There are rpm packages, i.e. SuSE
  gmp-4.2.1-58
  gmp-devel-4.2.1-58

In order to create binaries with libgmp being statically linked in, it
is possible to copy libgmp.a into ghc'c libdir so that those binaries
can run on systems with libgmp.so.
