On deeper inspection, they only have a fraction of the code, along with their own modifications. Also, because there are no location links in the included mpir files, there are no pointers to the original source.
My suggestion is to ask them to include a pointer to the original source in their distribution.

The source appears to be included in the zip file along with the binaries. According to my understanding, it would not be necessary to include the source anyway. Instead, a link to find the source from the original location would suffice. If the license is GPL, and not LGPL, then the project is dead for me anyway. What sort of evil twist is this?

I may be wrong but it seems to me that this does not comply with our GPL license. Does anyone else have a view on this?
