Normally the GMP library would not be built, because it should be 
installed on your system.  However, if you don't have the right package 
installed (e.g. libgmp3-dev on Debian/Ubuntu), then the GHC build system 
will automatically build GMP.

Perhaps there is a problem with using our copy of GMP when building 
shared libraries; we'll look into that.  In the meantime you should be 
able to work around the problem by installing the GMP development 
libraries on your machine.

Cheers,
