Static Linking ¶ On some CPUs, in particular the x86s, the static libgmp.a should be
used for maximum speed, since the PIC code in the shared libgmp.so will
have a small overhead on each function call and global data address. For many
programs this will be insignificant, but for long calculations there’s a gain
to be had.
