Very mysterious.  Cc'ed to a reporter of success with Darwin+GMP, for
any insights.

This is at the end of file I guess.  The add_n.asm doesn't contain a
bad character to start with does it?  The distributed tarball is
clean, naturally, but perhaps something got introduced.

If not, then does it happen if you go to the mpn directory can put the
following through m4

        include(`../config.m4')

or

        include(`../config.m4')
        EPILOGUE(foo)

or, with a tab before the dnl

        include(`../config.m4')
                dnl

I have a suspicion that with "define(<SIZE>, <dnl>)" in config.m4 that
EPILOGUE will leave the last line of the file with a tab and no
newline, if that might upset m4 or whatever.
