Here are the options I used to build GMP 6.1.2 and Nettle 3.1.4. It
looks fairly easy to duplicate on 64-bit platforms.
BUILD_BITS: 64-bits
INSTX_PREFIX: /usr/local
INSTX_LIBDIR: /usr/local/lib64
PKGCONFPATH: /usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig
CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/include -DNDEBUG
CFLAGS: -g2 -O2 -march=native -fPIC
CXXFLAGS: -g2 -O2 -march=native -fPIC
LDFLAGS: -L/usr/local/lib64 -Wl,-R,/usr/local/lib64 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags
LDLIBS: -ldl -lpthread
Then, I run configure. There's nothing special about what I am doing.
I'm just getting into a Release Build state.

Thanks Niels.
I'll try to get to it later tonight or tomorrow.
In the meantime you might provide your test data to GMP. It looks like
it would make a good test case for them.
