+    <caution><para>The code in gmp is highly optimized for the processor where
+    it is built. Occasionally the code that detects the processor misidentifies
+    the system capabilities and there will be errors in the tests or other
+    applications using the gmp libraries with the message "Illegal
+    instruction".  In this case, gmp should be reconfigured with the option
