I guess that's good enough for now. But is it that difficult to do
quoting of "unsigned char"? Something like

  make check-mini-gmp CPPFLAGS='-D"MINI_GMP_LIMB_TYPE=unsigned char"'

(I don't remember trying to use -D with spaces in the expansion, but it
can't be unheard of).

Not in mini-gmp.h. Using asl.h could be something like 

  #include "asl.h"
  #define MINI_GMP_LIMB_TYPE mp_limb_t 
  #include "mini-gmp.h"

somewhere in mini-gmp/test/.
