Hello Bill.

My understanding is the opposite: 
GMP choose the ABI with the best performance, which is ABI=64.
(Fundamentally GMP assume that people are building GMP program that are not linked
with any other libraries).

The log shows clearly that PARI is configured for the default 32bit ABI.

This means that you should build GMP with ABI=32, or PARI with the 64bit ABI.

If you want the best performance, choose the later. However this will require you
to have 64bit version of the other libraries used by PARI.

Cheers,
Bill.
