actually, i've started looking at this.  i did upgrade mpfr recently
and started looking at what new gmp needs.

hmmm, it changed some what, but i'm not sure how.  eg, it does:

-       if grep 'SUNW,UltraSPARC-T5' $dummy >/dev/null; then
+       if egrep '(SUNW|ORCL),(Ultra)?SPARC-T5' $dummy >/dev/null; then

for a bunch of cases.  is that sufficient for you?
