Hi Ard,

Thanks for your help. I had attempted to do something similar before for
klibc package. There were few hurdles 1. I could not increase the disk size
of the foundation model (didn't know how to do that. Could not find
anything on the manual) and I needed larger disk space to first compile
linux headers. May be for gmp I will not need that. 2. I was having trouble
accessing internet from inside the foundation model and was running into
difficulties copying files into the model, i.e. I could mount my build
machine files from inside the foundation model but not the other way round.
I remember struggling with this for few days before I settled with having
all the code sit on the build machine and mounting them from inside the
foundation model. This worked fine for the klibc package. Now this gmp
package simply takes too long to build natively on the foundation model, so
i was doing cross compiling to aarch64 equivalent of the MPN primitive
functions. But now that I am done with that I would like to test and debug
the code, so need something faster.

I will still give what you suggested a try. If I don't succeed, may be I
will have to simply find a faster server where the foundation model is
faster. let me know if you have any other ideas.

Thanks and Regards,
Anil
