Attached is a clamav license incompatibility bug with libgmp from the

The switch to LGPL3 came with gmp-4.2.2, so gmp-4.2.1 would be needed
for clamav compatibility. But prev is gmp-4.2.3-1, so we might need a

I can provide this if required, but I don't want to rush into it.
Some questions come to mind:
- what should it be called? gmp-compat?
- where should we install it? /opt/gmp-compat/{lib,include}
- would a static library suitable? No run time dependency,
and we won't be upgrading it.
