That sounds very strange, it's hard to think what gmp.h alone could do
to upset anything.  Does a trivial "hello world" program work?

Hmm.  That was a dodgy intermediate snapshot wasn't it?  You might be
better off with 2.95 or 3.0.

These are all pretty simple, so it sounds like there's something
fairly fundamental going wrong.  They all should print something if
they fail too.  You could try running up the debugger with for

        cd tests
        ../libtool gdb t-constants
