Comment (by isaacdupree):

 It's still a bug/issue for when GHC is built with GMP.  Were we planning
 on switching to non-GMP as default or mandatory? (I think such a change
 would need more discussion, because some code might use the speed of GMP's
 algorithms on large numbers.)  I guess just having non-gmp as a configure
 choice is a workaround for these users, although not a perfect or easy
 workaround
