It was built on a Mac with:

    $ xcodebuild -version
    Xcode 3.2.6
    Component versions: DevToolsCore-1809.0; DevToolsSupport-1806.0
    BuildVersion: 10M2518

Without gmp installed:

    $ echo '#include <gmp.h>' | gcc -E -
    # 1 "<stdin>"
    # 1 "<built-in>"
    # 1 "<command-line>"
    # 1 "<stdin>"
    <stdin>:1:17: error: gmp.h: No such file or directory

I had installed some MacPorts packages in the past, but they are all
uninstalled now:

    $ port installed
    Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider using selfupdate
    No ports are installed.



Incidentally, future builds will be made on a more up-to-date Mac.



Thanks
