I looked into this and I think one possible answer is "mini-gmp".

This is a single C file that is part of GMP.  It provides the same "mpz"
interface that these patches are currently using, though at a
performance cost.

So, one idea would be to put mini-gmp.c into the Emacs source tree, but
only compile it if the real GMP library is not found.
