gmp-impl.h assumes 32-bit unsigned int in fft_table_nk

Thanks for the discussion! The fun thing is that I'll try to deal with
integers on the order of 200 decimals (figure on the order of 700 bits). I
think that mini-gmp is billed as "several orders of magnitude slower" than
gmp on numbers over a few hundred bits, so I'd still like to see what gmp
does (with --disable-fft).
