This is what I've done over the past several days:

1. I upgraded to the most recent version of gcc which is expected to work on Mac OS X 10.3.9: gcc-4.0.3 

[jimk] 510 $ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0
Configured with: ../gcc-4.0.3/configure  : (reconfigured) ../gcc-4.0.3
+/configure 
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.3

[download]

This process, incidentally, took hours. I went do dinner and then to bed and it was still running! Did a lot of work with gcj, which I guess has to do with Java.

2. Tonight I reinstalled gmp-4.2. It went much faster than previously. As per the instructions cited by bowei_99 above, I performed make check after doing make install. All tests passed.

3. I attempted to reinstall Math-GMP via the cpan shell. I got the same error as before: 

  CPAN.pm: Going to build C/CH/CHIPT/Math-GMP-2.04.tar.gz

Any more ideas? Thanks.
