        Why is GMP so fragile and poorly designed that it fails without
  constant testing?
  
Sure, GMP needs testing on all "supported" platform.
Perhaps that is indeed a sign of poor design.

Lots of programs share that property, though.  Take GCC
as another example.  Nowadays, it too undergoes "constant
testing".  An unevitable result of poor design?
