'--with-gmp-lib=' configure option works on build machine, and this patch

When binary is installed on user machine, you can't assume gmp is available
in that path.
So the only way is to bundle gmp as fallback.
Main use of '--with-gmp-lib=' is by package systems like Net BSD
portage (IIUC available on Mac OSX), Mac Ports and Homebrew.
Package system ensures that GMP is in place specified at
configure time.
If you want to distribute binary outside of package system, then
of course you need to bundle GMP. Since you bundle it you know
where it will live and can give that location to '--with-gmp-lib='.
We bundle GMP to $FRICAS/lib. That is not a fixed path, we can not
give it to '--with-gmp-lib=' at configure phase.
You say that you do not break '--with-gmp-lib='. Maybe, but when
DARWIN is in features (which IIUC is true on Mac OSX) you use
different location. And '--with-gmp-lib=' works by replacing
'libgmp.so' by different name. So it is not clear to me how
it can work (on Mac OSX) after your change.
You see, from the patch:
(setq system-gmp-name #+:WIN32 "libgmp-10.dll"
#-:WIN32 "libgmp.so")
Here 'libgmp.so' will be replaced and it's valid on macOS.
