It does not.
(And I'm glad that it does not, because it allows for super-specialized
representation of small integers where even the space for mpz_t itself
is not allocated. An GMP-internal optimization for the same cases would
be underutilized and thus wasteful.)

This would make linking with another library which uses GMP impossible
(unless the allocator is compatible with malloc, reentrant etc.).
Glasgow Haskell has been unfortunate to go that way.

It does not.
