I hope to avoid getting flamed for this, but ...
If I give gcc a --with-gmp=<path>, I do NOT understand why that is not
enough. Though I admit I do not understand all of the dynamic library
location machinery. From what little I understand, If gcc built itself
with -rpath then all would be cool??? Maybe a new configure option:
--enable-self-rpath?
I don't know what else gmp *might* be used for on this system (in this
case a Toshiba A75 (3.2 GHz p4)). Debian 5.x did install a gmp
(library is libgmp.so.3.4.2). But I installed a specific version for
gcc to use. ... just cauz buildin stuff is a hoot.

P.S.: why is the lib for gmp-4.3.2 called libgmp.so.3.5.2????????
