> The ticket tried to upgrade it when it was there:
>
> The optional gmp-4.2.1 package fails to build on my openSuse laptop,
>
> I succeeded to fix it, in the sense that it did build. However, the tests
> did not pass.
>
> Therefore I suggest to upgrade the optional gmp package to the latest
> upstream release.
>
> It turns out that the ''unpatched'' upstream code installs and tests fine
> on my laptop. However, the old gmp spkg was massively patched, for
> various reasons. I don't know if all of the fixes from the old spkg went
> upstream.
>
> Therefore, I hope that some experts can check on various machines and in
> various settings, to see whether some of the old patches are still
> needed.
>
> Note that the old `SPKG.txt` remarks that the spkg-install of the
> optional polymake spkg needs to be updated, if gmp is upgraded. I hope
> that someone can do that.
