You assume that this divergence will certainly happen, whereas I
assume it almost certainly won't, because the Gnulib module is
explicitly intended to be a replacement for GMP, and Emacs is its very
respected client.

It is a bad mantra to have APIs that return trivially known values,
there are people here that will sooner or later suggest to remove it
as redundant.
