  Not being an assembly programmer, I can't help fix the actual
  problem.  However, by applying the following patch, and configuring with
  "CFLAGS=-DNO_ASM", I can build a functioning (although, not
  speedy) libgmp.
  
I better change is to fix the ia64 umul_ppmm macro.  Change "e" in
three places to "f" in the asm.

That will give you much better speed, but still just perhaps 5% of the
peak performance of this chip.  Since I don't have any ia64 system,
nor ia64 development funding, I am not going to work on improving the
performance.  I'd gratefully commit well-written assembly routines to
the GMP repository, and equally gratefully would accept an ia64 system
and development funding.  :-)
