It would probably be *essential* that these get added if GAP is to
ever run in library mode. I doubt that one can have both an MPIR and a
GMP library linked into the same executable and the rest of sage is
married to MPIR by now (ecl runs fine with MPIR, by the way, but some
changes to ecl were necessary to make it more tolerant to work with a
library that has been initialized by another process already. Since
it's in ecl's mission statement that it wants to play nice in embedded
situations, this was a reasonable change. Perhaps less so for GAP, but
if they're actively working on this presently, perhaps they can be
convinced to keep this use case in mind.
