a precompiled binary for djgpp v2 can be found at

ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/libs/binary/i386-pc-go32/gmp-2.0.2-i386-pc-go32.zip

It contains libgmp.a gmp.h and info files ready to unzip into proper places in your djgpp tree (only a manifest file is missing).
Don't worry about gnu-pascal if you are writing C/C++: this is a C library, and pascal developpers have only added a pascal interface to enable to use it in pascal programs (not included in the above mentioned file).
