Problem building the gdb-14-branch probably due to GMP

When I build a somewhat slimmed down gdb, I get the following error:
```
CXX init.o
CXXLD gdb
./libtool: line 5209: cd: no/lib: No such file or directory
libtool: link: cannot determine absolute directory name of `no/lib'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:2186: gdb] Fehler 1
make[2]: Verzeichnis „/home/src/srcL/gdb-14-branch/gdb“ wird verlassen
```
From the Makefile I deduced that this has something to do with GMP,
which I don't need, so I configured that out. But it made no difference.
I am on:
```
commit 2b5f0fe3230f707ab736d759af4bf436d2c43837 (HEAD -> master,
origin/master, origin/HEAD)

Use string_view in quirk_rust_enum
```
I want to build a slimmed down gdb, therefore I leave out a few
configuration options.
```
./configure \
--disable-binutils \
--disable-ld \
--disable-gold \
--disable-gas \
--disable-sim \
--disable-gprof \
--disable-gprofng \
--disable-libmcheck \
--disable-gprofng \
--enable-64-bit-bfd \
--with-separate-debug-dir="/usr/lib/debug" \
--with-system-gdbinit="/etc/gdb/gdbinit" \
--with-curses \
--without-gmp \
--without-mpfr \
--without-expat \
--without-guile \
--without-lmza \
--without-intel-pt \
--without-python \
--without-tcl \
--without-tk \
--with-tui \
--without-libunwind-ia64 \
--without-x \
--without-babeltrace
```
As an experiement I reduced this to
```
./configure
--disable-binutils \
--disable-ld \
--disable-gold \
--disable-gas \
--disable-sim \
--disable-gprof \
--disable-libmcheck \
--disable-gprofng \
--without-gmp
```
and build this (doing a git clean -d -f beforehand. It doesn't work
either, but on a rerun I get this funny error:
```
configure: loading cache ./config.cache
configure: error: `GMPLIBS' has changed since the previous run:
configure: former value: `-Lno/lib -Lno/lib -lmpfr -lgmp'
configure: current value: `-Lno/lib -lmpfr -lgmp'
configure: error: `GMPINC' has changed since the previous run:
configure: former value: `-Ino/include -Ino/include '
configure: current value: `-Ino/include '
configure: error: in `/home/src/srcL/gdb-14-branch/gdb':
configure: error: changes in the environment can compromise the build
configure: error: run `make distclean' and/or `rm ./config.cache' and
start over
```
Something seems out of whack with respect to GMP in the build process.
