If/when there are gmp libraries that actually use nail bits, the code there should be fixed to cope with them. There's a bit of talk about nail bits in the in the gmp manual as a hypothetical optimization in some future version. The #error was only written as a precaution so that the code shouldn't fail silently. Have you trigged it?

Shouldn't this be a configure test instead? What does it mean?
#if GMP_NUMB_BITS != SIZEOF_MP_LIMB_T * CHAR_BIT #error Cannot cope with GMP using nail bits. #endif
