GMP builds out-of-the-box with DJGPP. No changes are necessary. It's one of my
favourite packages to port. ;)

One of the GMP developers builds GMP for DJGPP occasionally, I believe - at
least, he used to.

I'm not sure if GMP can be built without long filenames. You may have to
disable dependency tracking - there's a configure script option for that.
