Thank you for reporting this. Could you please tell which compiler are you using to build GAP by sending me the output of gcc -v ? On OS X, after XCode installation gcc actually calls clang, and my guess is that this may be may be a version of clang which is not compatible with GMP, so building GMP fails. There are several ways to fix this:
1) the fastest way is to build GAP without GMP support make clean ./configure --with-gmp=no make at the cost of a slightly slower integer arithmetic. 2) Install gcc compiler using, for example, homebrew (http://brew.sh), and then call make clean export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.9 ./configure --with-gmp=no make (adjust the part in export=... as required). Unfortunately, the BOB installer does not work at the moment.
