Any chance that I can some day benefit from your work on my 32bit laptop?

I have just commited a patch which allows using GMP for bignum computation in 64-bit sbcl on AMD64 (x86_64) processors. To use it configure using '--with-gmp' option -- you must have gmp installed (including C header files, that is devel package), otherwise build will fail. To get idea of benefits from using gmp, on my machine (2.4 GHz Core 2) computing 10^6 digits of e takes 15s with sbcl arithmetic, 1.8s when using gmp 4.2 and 0.6s when using gmp 5.0. Note: I did all my tests on 64-bit Linux. The code should work on other 64-bit Unices on x86_64 processors. The code probably will not work on big-endian machines and certainly would fail in 32-bit mode -- one needs to adapt it to such architectures.
