Hello,

as a matter of fact, I had gmp 4.1.4 installed from source anyway, but I 
just rerun the test suite of the library and it worked flawlessly -- so 
the problem must lie somewhere else. I suppose the expt code should be 
the culprit because the following works:

$ csi
  _______   _     __
 / ___/ /  (_)___/ /_____ ___
/ /__/ _ \/ / __/  '_/ -_) _ \
\___/_//_/_/\__/_/\_\\__/_//_/
