If it's just libgmp.so that is outdated, you could try uncommenting the line in build.mk.sample that says:

libraries/integer-gmp_CONFIGURE_OPTS += --configure-option=--with-intree-gmp

Hi GHC Devs,

I'd like to build ghc for an environment (linux x86_64) that I don't fully control, and most importantly libgmp.so on that environment is severely outdated. I was wondering if I can build ghc on another linux x86_64 machine but link in all the dependencies as static libraries instead finding them as dynamic libraries?

Thank you!

Best,
Hengchu
