gmp prefixes all its functions using double underscore. If you check
the header file you'll see something like:
#define mpz_cmp __gmpz_cmp
__GMP_DECLSPEC int mpz_cmp (mpz_srcptr, mpz_srcptr) __GMP_NOTHROW
__GMP_ATTRIBUTE_PURE;

On which platform do you compile?

Did you pass the correct LDFLAGS to configure? i.e.,
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure? As gmp doesn't use pkg-config
the configure script cannot easily derive them.
