So if we wait for GMP 6.0.1 and then update the in-tree tarball, this should get fixed automatically.

I'd rather get rid of the in-tree GMP tarball altogether than updating it, as it will increase the ghc.git history by a 2MiB blob everyone will have to download each time `ghc.git` gets cloned. Morever, the work I'm doing in #9281 is also somewhat motivated by finally getting rid of the in-tree GMP tarball for good. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7655#comment:34 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
