I forgot to show that it in the test output, but not just the resulting binary is independent of GMP, but the GHC itself is too. This is great. I hope someone with more knowledge than me will have time to look into this ticket before 7.8 release. I'm marking status of this report as 'patch'.
BTW, is there some legal issues if a distribution decides to "distribute" GMP statically linked into a GHC binary? GMP is on LGPL, GHC is on BSD - I think these are compatible, so there shouldn't be any problems. We already include some code on GPL.
