It turns out I am incapable of accomplishing that. Sorry. I can muddle  
through patches and packaging, but seem unable to resolve simple C  
problems. Using your fragment, I get:

Undefined symbols:
   "_main", referenced from:
       start in crt1.10.5.o
   "___gmpz_abs", referenced from:
       _foo in ccfgyRYz.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If I throw in a 'main ()' to quiet the first error, I end up with  
'error: syntax error before ‘{’ token'

That said, there have been other problems with inline functions and  
Apple's linker in OS X 10.5.2. I'll try building on 10.4 to see if  
that works.

Thanks for the help.

Dave
