It needs the ERR_* subsystem, as well as (I think) the BIO subsystem. I tried creating a libbignum by only compiling stuff from openssl/bn, and it didn't work very well. If you can get it to work, so much the better. That said, right now everything that uses libmp could be considered `crypto' code, anyway, so it may just be better to classify it as such as not install it in the NO_CRYPTO case (is there such a knob, anyway?).
