Or maybe it's sufficient to add "-include .../asl.h" to CPPFLAGS ? Plus
whatever is needed to force mini-gmp.h to use asl's definition of
mp_limb_t.

Hmm, one would also need to define GMP_LIMB_BITS differently, mini-gmp.c
currently uses sizeof(mp_limb_t) * CHAR_BIT, which will will not be
correct with asl.h.
