So it appears that the gmp builds fine and works as expected.

The autoconf toolchain of sfslite fails to find the gmp, so you might want
to ask the authors of sfslite what the problem might be. The gmp is not at
fault here, so unless somebody here is familiar with sfslite you are out
of luck.

You might also want to check if you cannot give a path to the gmp via some
configure option (of sfslite), even though that script should find the gmp
in the default directory. You might want to check if the library is really
there, maybe you don't have quote left or permission.

Ask the sfslite people about this problem.
