I don't know who is *supposed* to supply the gmp lib, but on my RedHat 6.0
system, it was a simple matter of installing the `gmp-devel' rpm, which is
in the distribution, but I guess not installed by default. BTW, the shared
gmp lib *is* installed by default (included in the `gmp' rpm), just not the
static one that GHC needs.
