Comment(by simonmar):
To clarify, the stage 0 compiler is the one in your `$PATH` when you build
GHC from source. It is up to you to install it before you build GHC. I
presume the slackware build downloads a pre-built stage 0 from somewhere
first. The point is, I think the stage 0 you are using has a dependency
on `libgmp.so.3`, which is leading to the problems you're seeing. So you
just need to use a different stage 0, which you can make by building one
yourself.
