I can see many practical scenarios where using extract_big_integer etc. will work just fine even if Emacs is compiled with mini-gmp and the module with full GMP (or vice versa). I can't see many practical scenarios where these additional checks will cause more good than harm. Would it help to write to the GMP maintainer and ask how compatible mini-gmp is intended to be? My impression is that compatiblity concerns are pretty high on his priority list.
