Talked to ouar OpenFOAM expert. He had the following comments:

* On a modern machine he compiled OpenFOAM-4.x in about 35 minutes.* gmp.h: 
Seems gmp-devel is lacking (probably also mpfr-devel.
* To speed up one could useĀ "export WM_NCOMPPROCS=32" or something similar.
* Also, we have had serious issues with speed when compiling on parallel 
filsystem (gluster), should compile on a local filsystem.
