symlink it to the later version, or copy the lib over from another system. Then rebuild dev-libs/gmp and dont delete the lib!
I got bitten by this but only on one system - the file is supplied by the later ebuild so I dont know why it asks to delete it. Was in the middle of a major snafu when it bit so didnt bug report it - should have.
