See the changes to 5.0.1 listed at http://gmplib.org/gmp5.0.html. In particular: "The solib numbers now reflect the removal of the documented but preliminary mpn_bdivmod function; we correctly flag incompatibility with GMP 4.3. GMP 5.0.0 has this wrong, and should perhaps be uninstalled to avoid confusion." So, unfortunately, they should have bumped 5.0.0's solib number but didn't, which is why you're seeing a problem now. Given that you can successfully run Haskell against 5.0.0, would creating compatibility symlinks of libgmp.so.3 -> libgmp.so.10.0.1 and libgmp.so.3.6.0 -> libgmp.so.10.0.1 work?
