wrong installation path for gmp.h

Hi Torbjörn,

I configured gmp-6.2.1 with the following command:
DESTDIR=`pwd`/install; ./configure --prefix=${DESTDIR} --bindir=${DESTDIR}/usr/bin --sbindir=${DESTDIR}/usr/sbin --libdir=${DESTDIR}/usr/lib --libexecdir=${DESTDIR}/usr/libexec --includedir=${DESTDIR}/usr/include --datarootdir=${DESTDIR}/usr/share

I found that the installation path (${DESTDIR}/include) for gmp.h does not match the includedir (${DESTDIR}/usr/include) in gmp.pc, this caused an error in the configuration for the mpfr package.

I can add the following configuration to solve this problem: exec_prefix=${DESTDIR}/usr .
However, is it better to use the following patch then run command (aclocal && automake -f) to fix it?

diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am
index 1c24694..96bd83e 100644
--- a/Makefile.am

-nodist_includeexec_HEADERS = gmp.h
+include_HEADERS = $(GMPXX_HEADERS_OPTION) gmp.h

Best Regards!
