The suggestion would be to include limits.h before including
gmp-impl.h.  You can see gmp-impl.h has suitable #ifndef's.  I guess I
generally believe in standard headers before application ones.

Not sure about the merits of nested includes.

In any case this is gmp internals, and while it's not meant to be
deliberately difficult, it's not a published interface.
