Well, the parts of nettle that are used by the pike glue doesn't depend on Gmp. As far as I know.
About this bundling stuff, where should the source for the nettle and gmp libraries live in a pike dist? Pike-v47.11/gmp and Pike-v47.11/nettle seem reasonable. This is if we want fix places, otherwise Pike-v47.11/nettle-1.9 might be better.
Then next question is if and when to build them. There should be some rules in the top-level Makefile I guess, but it seems a little ugly to have src/configure invoke "make -f ../Makefile gmp".

Yes. The configure scripts in GMP and Nettle should be fixed so that the bundled Nettle/GMP is built and used if none is found on the target system. And make export should be fixed so that GMP and Nettle is bundled.
