You might try soft-linking mpc and gmp directly in the gcc source
tree. I think gcc will find and build them appropriately for you if
they are in its directory tree.
e.g.
cd gcc-version
ln -s ../mpc-version mpc
ln -s ../gmp-version gmp

Maybe this should be --target=arm-rtemseabi4.11 I'm not sure if it
would make a difference.
