The table is generated after ./configure, and before the files that go
into libgmp are compiled (or at least, before any files which uses the
table in question).

So the table generation should not depend on gmp, nor on mpfr. If I
understand Torbjörn correctly, it should only use plain C, and the
bignum functions defined in the file dumbmp.c (a subset of GMP's mpz
interface, with a less sophisticated implementation).
