Makes some sense. At least it's shorter.

Depends on whether or not we aim to eliminate that extra file and only
use mini-gmp.c. If not, then I agree it's a bit cleaner to include the
bootstrap.c file everywhere, and then we can also be less zealous about
moving definitions out from that file.

And one correction, I wrote:

I think that's a sensible thing to do, but that change wasn't actually
included in the posted patch.
