gmp.h needs to detect bit width more dynamically to support universal builds on mac

[Dan Kegel]

That may be, but it doesn't mean any particular library should
rely on that mechanism working.  If you want to maximize reach
of your software, and it's not too hard to do, you should make one
.h work everywhere.

I guess I'll shut up now.  I have one .h file that works everywhere I
need it.  I guess I don't care if upstream doesn't want to support
that use.
