We can *temporarily* push this problem downstream to distributors.

KCalc's GMP support was developed when said library was GPLv2. If the 
distribution or the user upgrade to an incompatible version, that's not 
our fault.

But, like I said, it's a temporary solution. Distributions will not be 
happy by having to install an old version for license compatibility only.
