I think you should get the installed libgmp recognized, but not doing tricks
like this. It is no problem as a temporary solution, but you should always
try to make use of a package manager.

I have no experience with AWS, but it seems that you need to run a ldconfig
to rebuild the cache, since you installed libgmp just by copying into /usr/lib.

ldconfig -n /usr/bin
