Hello,

This is a resend of the resend... The patches are rebased onto the current tip:
  - https://gmplib.org/list-archives/gmp-devel/2025-November/006330.html
  - https://gmplib.org/list-archives/gmp-devel/2026-July/006466.html

The FSF agreement is complete, so hopefully this will just be a technical
review and maybe even a merge. It would be nice to get this to land, since
it's a core component of userspace and Fedora builds C and C++ userspace
with PAC and BTI enabled, this gets pulled into a lot of things, it would
be nice to close this.
