gmpy.c #include's gmp.h and uses (==expands) some of the C macros there defined -- doesn't that make gmpy.o a derived work of gmp.h?

Assuming that gmp.h is the header which defines the public interface of the gmp library, any code which uses it as a library will be including gmp.h. So that in itself doesn't imply that you're doing more than using it as a library.
