I disagree with this. If gmp isn't working on a specific hardware 
platform, but is just fine on the others, that is not sufficient grounds 
for altogether excluding the recipe from the recipe repository.

The recipe can be disabled in builds for that architecture, until 
someone steps up to fix the problem later. Webkit was broken for a very 
long time on MIPS64, so by your logic, we shouldn't have had webkit at all?
