Thanks, but unfortunately getting GMP 4.2 built right on any platform
is never a trivial task -- GMP's maintainer is apparently actively
hostile to any attempts of making fixes to GMP to make it build
correctly on MAC OS X, in particular.  I have a correspondent who
thinks he's got a working patch (for PPC on MacOSX 10.4, at least);
he's very busy but I hope he'll send it to me eventually.

gmpy itself is or should be pretty trivial to build on any platform
(and I'll always happily accept any fixes that make it better on any
specific platform, since it's easy to make them conditional so they'll
apply to that platform only), but the underlying GMP is anything but:-
(.
