There are several ways to work around it manually, but I can't think of 
one that would integrate nicely in upstream sources.

If you have an incremental linker, you could use it to link files 
progressively. You could also create archives of all the object files 
(either several archives or one built incrementally) and then build a 
shared object out of it (--whole-archive with gnu ld).

Some projects, instead of compiling all files separately, create a file 
all.c that #includes all the source files. It wouldn't work in gmp without 
some modifications, because some object files rely on including headers 
with particular macros defined.
