Hans, it’s challenging to give sensible advice/guesses without knowing which test is failing. Maybe I missed this information in the replies (please CC the list if you want follow up answers from more than just David). I am not a GMP developer, but note that GMP is regularly tested with ubsan and results are included at https://gmplib.org/devel/tm/gmp/date.html <https://gmplib.org/devel/tm/gmp/date.html>.
