Alex, have you had a look at SAGE?

http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/

it uses GMP extensively, so they've had to patch it to work around these
issues.  You can look at the SAGE release (they package everything as the
original tarball + patches) for the GMP-specific stuff you need, though I
suspect you'll still want to play with SAGE a little bit :).  It's a mighty
impressive system.

Cheers,
