New version 4.1.4 of gmp is out, it fixes possible incorrect results in the floating point ops. There is a patch to get it to compile on amd64 with higher than -O2 optimizations that I got off the gmp homepage as well. 

I also modified the ebuild to run the full make check every time (using a trick I found in the perl ebuild) bacause gmp is mostly used in situations where bad results would be really bad, such as scientific research, etc (several physics profs use at my Univ for physics research). If it is miscompiled for any reason would be really bad, so we might as well let it run the tests so we are sure that it compiled properly.

Reproducible: Always
