Now now, that was a long time ago.  I've learned a lot about packaging since
then.:-)

But to answer your question, I've downloaded the new SRPM and checked it out.
It's almost architecture neutral.  You'll have to edit one little line in
the SPEC file ::
    ./configure --target=i586-linux --prefix=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/usr

I think the correct semantics would be:
    ./configure --target=`uname -m`-`uname -s` --prefix=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/usr

(You want to leave --target in there because gmp does optimization based on
The arch/OS combination.... And for some reason it was just going for generic
without the --target switch.)
