I thought the source-provision requirements of the *GPL licences only apply when you distribute a modified version of something. Here you're just shipping an unmodified GMP library.

In fact you only have to provide a way to get the sources of the library. You don't have to ship the library with the source.

As for the LGPL on Windows, wxWidgets does this for a long time now and a program does not have to be open source or LGPL or whatever.
