Hello :

    Thus far I have been unable to get your configure script to accept
some reasonable options that indicate where gmp libs are located.

Thus :

$ ./configure --host=i386-pc-solaris2.8 --build=i386-pc-solaris2.8 \
 --prefix=/opt/csw --with-gmp-lib=/opt/csw/lib \
 --with-gmp-include=/opt/csw/include \
 --with-libgmp-prefix=/opt/csw \
 --with-libgmpxx-prefix=/opt/csw

The libs exist just fine and work very well but I continuously get this
message :

checking how to link with libgmp... /opt/csw/lib/libgmp.so -R/opt/csw/lib
-R/opt/csw/lib/$ISALIST
checking how to link with libgmpxx... /opt/csw/lib/libgmpxx.so
/opt/csw/lib/libgmp.so -R/opt/csw/lib -R/opt/csw/lib/$ISALIST
-R/opt/csw/lib -R/opt/csw/lib/$ISALIST
checking for the GMP library version 4.1.3 or above... no
configure: error: Cannot find GMP version 4.1.3 or higher.
GMP is the GNU Multi-Precision library:
see http://www.swox.com/gmp/ for more information.
When compiling the GMP library, do not forget to enable the C++ interface:
add --enable-cxx to the configuration options.

I have gmp 5.0.1 :
