Comment(by simonmar):

 The patch looks ok to me.

 I think the problem is not that the in-tree GMP library doesn't work for
 64-bit, but that it doesn't work with shared libraries.  It is just a
 coincidence that the first platform that tried to use the in-tree GMP with
 shared libraries happened to be an x86_64.

 We probably need to use `--enable-shared` for GMP when building shared
 libraries, but I imagine there are related build system and installation
 fixes required.
