Probably headers files.

Probably not.

Most bignum libraries use their own formats, in general they are
very close (structure with words/limbs, some counters, sign
variable ...). Sometimes APIs between libraries are almost the same.

Very ease, but if you think about bignum library I think GMP
is better than extract from OpenSSL.
