You don't need to change the GCC makefile to link statically to gmp, mpfr and mpc. If you put the gmp/mpfr/mpc sources in the gcc source tree then those sources will be used and statically linked to the gcc binaries. If you want to use an existing libgmp.a already installed on the system, then you might need to change the makefiles to force that to happen.
