I think you would normally construct an import lib for VC6 using VC6's
'lib.exe' and 'libgmp-3.dll.def':
lib /out:libgmp-3.lib /def:libgmp-3.dll.def

Then, in your VC6 projects, link to libgmp-3.lib rather than libgmp.a.

IIRC, if you want to link your VC6 projects to libgmp.a, you need to also
link them to libgcc.a.

See the " MS Windows DLLs" section at
