I consider this as a RC critical bug in gmp anyway, if it is really the
cause of the problem, and as the recompile fixed it I see that as a
strong indicator.
The mail to the gmp's first maintainer did bounce, though.

Oh well, here you are right. I did not consider this. The interface is
used in parameters passed to some functions in obby, so yes, it needs to
be changed, too.
I don't know if more packages are affected. Apart from that the
dependent applications also need to be rebuilt then.

They most probably won't work with older, but I could force a shlibs
version dependency locally in obby to require the new version.
Kind regards,
