No, this is on a system without GMP.  config.log says:

The results should be identical, though, AFAIU.

With what version of GCC?  This could be dependent on the compiler
version; mine in that case is

  gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.4) 4.8.4

as was reported originally.  (This is on fencepost.gnu.org, btw.)

The warning in mini-gmp-gnulib.c is indeed gone, but GMP-related
warnings in our own sources still remain.  Examples:

  floatfns.c: In function ‘rescale_for_division’:
  floatfns.c:374:10: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
	 pn = t;
	    ^
  floatfns.c:382:10: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
	 pn = t;
	    ^
    CC       fns.o
  data.c: In function ‘bignum_arith_driver’:

     accum = &mpz[0];
