At the moment we don't use mpir.h. It should be possible for them to make a gmp-4.3.spkg. I don't see any technical hurdles there.
Perhaps there will be some doctest failures due to different gcd functions being called, I don't know. Someone needed to fix the gmp spkg anyway. It was severely broken, and GMP also didn't compile on some of the planned supported archs. I'll let Michael give a more canonical answer.
