I'd rather we avoided that burden. That's OK, we can put it into Gnulib and then let the Gnulib maintainers worry about it. They can work to get the patches merged upstream into GMP. They already do this for lots of other code. The main question is whether it'd be an overall win. If the required patches are small and easily maintained, it will be.
