As more software will have similar problems (e.g. Berkeley-DB), the best
solution here IMHO is to either upgrade the 32-bit user-land to 64-bit
or downgrade the 64-bit kernel to a 32-bit one. The combination you are
driving calls for trouble. Alternatively you can hack the detection
in GMP's "configure" script or try the "ABI" environment variable the
"configure" script seems to accept. Just passing a compiler flag doesn't
work as GMP selects assembly code himself during configure time.
