Hello Justin,
I remember that you reported the problem on 10.4 with your gmp in /usr/
local, but we never opened a ticket for it. The cddlib.spkg I posted
above fixes the issues (at least it ought to), so please try that one
out and report back.
In that contect:
* Axiom 1: Untested code is broken.
* Axiom 2: Reported bugs not entered into trac will get lost.

That might be an interesting approach, but I consider issues like the
one you see on 10.4 build system bugs. If we could change the search
path default for the linker on the fly we should do it, but changing
it globally would probably break loads of other software.
