Will the program *always* be terminated in an reliable fashion?
Otherwise, I think it might be safer to have a configure check for
working exceptions, and do something like

#if WORKING_EXCEPTIONS
        throw std::invalid_argument ("mpz_set_str");
#else
	die ("mpz_set_str");
#endif

where die is some function which writes the message to stderr and then
calls abort or exit. Or encapsulate that into some functions
gmpxx_arg_error and gmpxx_length_error, to move the ifdefs out of
gmpxx.h.
