Comment:

 It looks like you have nawk installed, and gmp is incompatible with it.
 Try deactivating nawk, then building gmp, then (if desired) reactivating
 nawk again.

 {{{
 sudo port clean gmp
 sudo port -f deactivate nawk
 sudo port install gmp
 sudo port activate nawk
 }}}

 If that fixes it, we should add "conflicts_build nawk" to the port.

 I've seen many configure scripts be incompatible with nawk, so you may
 want to consider not re-activating nawk, and using a different awk
 implementation instead, such as gawk.
