jconsole/etc. already dynamically link to libj, so I think dynamic linking
is fine. Not hard to bundle the requisite libs. That said, my preference
is for libbf rather than gmp (and I started on something oriented
thattaways), and it happens to be permissively licensed.

I got very little through February for various reasons, but I'm back on
it. I think static linking is the best way as well, including to avoid
newer builds of J having new dependencies that make J not work on
machines where it previously did, but if so it probably can't be GMP for
licensing reasons. My plan's just to get something working, with the
expectation that various issues like this will be easy to decide later.

How is this proceeding?
(I have been tempted to tackle this integration myself, but between
laptop failures and some other issues, I have not gotten around to it,
yet.)
I will say this:
Because of how J is typically installed, I think that the right
approach here would be to statically link against libgmp. Dynamic
links are appropriate in a variety of cases, but not this one, not for
the initial port. (Once libgmp is supported, it would be possible to
build J against a dynamically linked libgmp, but while that might be
right for some people, most people are not going to want to deal with
the consequences of that approach.)
Anyways, ... I might yet get around to tackling this by myself, but if
you're making good progress, I should probably either just wait or try
to pitch in on issues which are eating too much of your time.
Thanks,
