No, this is on a system without GMP.  config.log says:

  configure:18948: checking gmp.h usability
  configure:18948: gcc -std=gnu11 -c  -O0 -g3     conftest.c >&5

  ...
  configure:19002: result: no

The results should be identical, though, AFAIU.

With what version of GCC?  This could be dependent on the compiler
version; mine in that case is

  gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.4) 4.8.4

as was reported originally.  (This is on fencepost.gnu.org, btw.)

The warning in mini-gmp-gnulib.c is indeed gone, but GMP-related
warnings in our own sources still remain.  Examples:
