[pycrypto] setup.py fails to find gmp on Debian/Ubuntu

Hi,

Debian and Ubuntu recently started to implement Multiarch [1]. Because of this,
libgmp.so has been moved from /usr/lib/ to /usr/lib/<host-triplet>/ and setup.py
cannot find it anymore.

I was able to circumvent this problem by asking gcc for its library search path
(see the attached patch). I don't know if that is the best way to fix this issue
but I would be glad if you'd consider the patch or fix the issue differently.

Regards
