The correct option is the following:

`--with-libgmp-prefix=DIR'
     Build GDB using the GMP library installed at the directory DIR.
     If your host does not have GMP installed, you can get the latest
     version at `https://gmplib.org/'.

(it's documented in gdb/README, if you are looking for it)
