There are two issues here. First, support for bignums: there are some
package around, and it isn't too hard to hack something.
The second issue is efficiency. I seem to recall that GMP is highly
optimized, uses assembly language etc. So one may actually want or hope for
a binding to GMP. I don't know a thing about it, but I did find this web
page http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~mroe/Ada/GMP/. Maybe someone knows
more about the current status of this.
