OK, well we should keep that in mind, though as long as GMP supports
the target architecture, and we arrange guile to handle a
--with-gmp=/some/prefix argument, I'm not sure that keeping a copy of
GMP's source tree inside ours buys much over just making sure the GMP
tarfile is handy, and that we have good docs about any required
configure args, etc.

This is all presuming we were in a situation where you had to have
GMP, i.e we didn't take the route allowing --without-gmp, or similar.
