Ok, if that does the trick I will merge the fix into 2.8.14 provided
it compiles locally on the test boxen (which it should). I looked at
the configure log in detail and it seems very weired that it fails
that late because it does find a gmp and gmp headers.

Oh well, Sage never builds out of the box for everybody. It is like
playing a whack a mole :)
