I solved this by deinstalling math/gmp, reinstalling math/libgmp4,
copying libgmp.so.8 to another directory, deinstalling math/libgmp4,
reinstalling math/gmp, then copying my saved libgmp.so.8 back to
/usr/local/lib.

I think maybe my package database has become corrupted somehow.  Is there
a good way to rebuild that from scratch, or fix it?  The Handbook didn't
seem to say anything on the subject.
