FYI: What I do to compile gmp on IA64 HP-UX is to configure gmp with '--host=none --target=none --build=none'. This avoids all the target specific code. I am sure the performance stinks this way but since it is used by the compiler and not in the run-time I haven't found it to be a problem. Of course I don't compile any big fortran programs either.
