My recollection is that gmp_errno was not thread-safe, not just
obsolete, and that that was a reason for getting rid of it.

Also, I seem to remember there were plans to make a new version of
mpz_nextprime accepting a random state and the number of M-R tests, and
of mpz_probab_prime_p accepting a random state. Of course, these could
just be new functions.
