Comment(by illogic-al at macports.org):

 Replying to [comment:7 ryandesign@…]:
 > It would be nice to have a universal gmp. We would need to see if gmp
 can be cross-compiled at all. If it can, then we still have the problem
 that probably the test suite cannot be run for the non-native architecture
 (at least, the Intel parts can probably not be tested on PowerPC; the
 PowerPC parts might be testable on Intel via Rosetta). I have learned the
 hard way (and it is stated in the gmp documentation) that the test suite
 must must must pass before you can use the built gmp. Otherwise you're
 just asking for trouble.

 Ok so the app I've tested, kcalc, links to a universal libgmp. I've tested
 on intel and ppc (rosetta) and nothing crashes. I'll ask the gmp
 developers this weekend.
