Embedding the location of the mpfr shared library into the binary is not a good idea by default, since it will mean that gcc will break if you copy it to a different system. That said, I think it would be reasonable to add yet another configure option to do that, for people who know they won't be copying it anywhere.
That would be a very useful feature if one could hard-code the locations of the mpfr and gmp with a configure option.
