I've now updated gmp to version 4.3.1 in the stdenv branch.  Could you try to
see if that works for you?  (I can't reproduce this myself...)

I've also updated patchelf in the stdenv branch so that we don't need to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH anymore, so problems with /bin/sh should be definitively gone :-)
