GMP's "Build Options" documentation at https://gmplib.org/manual/Build-Options.html says that it can be optimized for a number of CPUs, and that its configure script defaults to "this CPU here, right here in my office".

OK, I updated macos-setup.sh to configure GMP with --enable-fat and Michael reinstalled it. Jaap, can you try installing 3.0.0rc2-7-gd24a9c09 or 3.1.0rc0-167-g092d73e4 or later?
