 Ok.

 GMP 5.0.1

 Hmmm, we have to upgrade ECM ''because of'' the upgrade of MPIR / GMP:

  '''''Changes between ecm-6.2.3 and ecm-6.3:'''''

    * ''New assembly code for 64-bit PowerPC (thanks to Philip
 !McLaughlin)''
    * ''Allow several processes to write to the same -save file''
    * ''More routines in new P+-1 stage 2 use multi-threading in OpenMP
 build''
    * '''''Fixed incompatibility with GMP 5.0.0'''''
    * ''Fixed several bugs, and now check return value from malloc()
 calls''
    * ''Fixed linking of GMP which prevented successful builds under Darwin
 (and presumably other systems)''
    * ''Allow use of x86_64 asm code under MinGW''
