It's currently possible to build gcc in two ways.
1) Compiler and install mpfr and use switches to indicate the location of their
instalation
--with-mpfr=/somedirector --
2) Put directories mpfr and gmp under the source of gcc.
What I propose is to allow a couple of extra switches
--mpfr-source-dir= & --gmp-source-dir=
Apart from making installation easier, it would mean anyone doing a 'gcc -v'
would know what versions of the mpfr and gmp were used.

Summary: Add a switch to configure to allow *source* directory of
mprt and gmp to be specified.
