It probably also breaks the ABI since it changes the size of some objects.
By the way, do we have a policy about breaking binary compatibility? In this case, mixing old and new objects could result in crashes (almost certainly at -O0, seldom at -O3). It should be possible to prevent this issue by renaming __gmp_unary_expr and __gmp_binary_expr (say adding a '2' at the end). It wouldn't be 100%, but I think only questionable code would break.
Note that in any case the change wouldn't affect libgmpxx.so (no need to bump the soname).
