>Description:
At line 171 (or so) in /usr/include/gmp.h,

void mp_set_memory_functions _PROTO ((void *(*) (size_t),
                                      void *(*) (void *, size_t, size_t),
                                      void (*) (void *, size_t)));

is not included in the extern "C" { 
declaration of line 177 (or so)

This makes it impossible to link C++ programs which use this function.

>How-To-Repeat:
use mp_set_memory_functions in a C++ program and link it against libgmp.a.
The linker will report mp_set_memory_functions as an unresolved symbol (since C++ is mangling its name)
>Fix:
move mp_set_memory_functions into the extern "C"
