Packages build failure with gmp-enabled XEmacs

Initially, I suspected a recursive dependency, but why would that
affect only a gmp-enabled build? A 21.5 XEmacs without gmp can build
the packages with no problem. If anyone has any insight into what's
going wrong here, I'm happy to hear their speculation.
My guess is a (very efficient ;-) busted loop that ordinarily uses a
few score billion cycles to wrap around, but with GMP support becomes
an infloop, which also constructs lots and lots of GMP objects.
Try putting a C breakpoint on the GMP number constructor, then lbt to
find out what Lisp code is being executed.
HTH, and damn, I wish I had time to do this myself. :-(
