I don't believe that is what the configure warning implies. The
wording
*** MEMORY EXHAUSTION MAY RESULT IN ABRUPT TERMINATION.

suggests that **ppl** may result in abrupt termination, not the build
process. In any case, the build behaviour is the precise opposite:
rather than abrupt termination, it ran for > 240 minutes without
activity.
Moreover, the amd64 build DOES NOT produce this warning. You can see
that in the build log of the original post. I verified it myself: I'm
building ppl right now on amd64.
Closing as I don't believe there is a gmp bug. However, I'm
a little curious why the i686 build produces that warning while
amd64 does not.
