That's correct.

Yep.

Basically we're still on soname libgmp.so.3, since gmp 4.0 is upwardly
binary compatible with gmp 3.1.1.  This is expressed through the
libtool versioning in the gmp top-level Makefile.am.

You can read more about libtool versioning in the libtool manual,
though it doesn't actually describe how -version-info is mapped to
sonames and file names on various systems.
