LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" Unfortunately /usr/lib may supersede
this and configure will use it first. My advice is to do what I
did. Remove the development library (.a) from /usr/lib and leave
the shared one there for GMP 3.1 (.so) Then install GMP 4.1 in
/usr/local/lib

Your old applications should still use the old runtime libraries
and be fine.

(Remember to ldconfig if you're on Linux.)
