    <note os="n1">
      <para>If you are compiling this package on a different CPU than you plan
      to run the CLFS system on, you must replace GMP's
      <filename>config.guess</filename> and <filename>config.sub</filename>
      wrappers with the originals. This will prevent GMP from optimizing for
      the wrong CPU. You can make this change with the following command:</para>

<screen>mv -v config{fsf,}.guess
mv -v config{fsf,}.sub</screen>
