The standard GNU copyright admits a source to be run and called from 
non-free and/or non-open programs (details spelled out in the 
copyright) as a program, but not as a DLL. The lesser GNU licence, 
used for C libraries and the like, admits one to integrate library 
code into non-free and/or non-open programs.

So if GMP uses the lesser GNU copyright, the answer is yes. If GMP 
uses the standard GNU copyright, the answer depends on what 
conditions your sources are distributed under, and whether GMP is 
called as a program or a DLL.
