Does gdb/configure ignore --with-gmp?

Following up on this part of my test results for Nick Alcock's fix:

The error is that gmp.h is not found when compiling conftest.  But the
compile command does not include -I/usr/local/include which it should,
based on the configure option.  Is that a bug in gdb/configure.ac?
The option did get passed to gdb/configure as shown in gdb/config.log.
