I don't understand. The old GMP library will be removed by the
upgrade and GMP 5 is *not* binary compatible[*] with GMP 4. So
all the packages which depend on GMP must be rebuilt by this
upgrade.

Also note that GMP 5.0.1 is not regarded as stable as GMP 4.3.2.

[*] GMP 5.0.0 was declared to be binary compatible, but this was
a bug, which has been fixed in GMP 5.0.1.
