Actually I take it back, I can't workaround this by resetting GMP's allocators to their defaults, as those defaults are not visible in `gmp.h`. I can set them to `NULL`, which is probably fine but will show up as leaked memory in various tools, or I think I can hope that they're malloc/realloc/free, and write my own interposition functions to forward to those.

Neither one of these is really compelling.

Also, I should note this isn't a C++-only issue, any sort of `__attribute__((destructor))` can run into this.
