In what situations would GMP not be available?

On operating systems where GMP is not in the base installation. One example is Solaris 10; I'm sure there are others. We could strongly suggest installing GMP before building Emacs, as we already do for a GnuTLS and few other libraries; but at least at first I doubt whether we'd want to absolutely require GMP, just as we don't require GnuTLS.
