probably similar to the macosx build issues others have seen.  can
you see what default ABI gmp is building (src/tools/gmp), and then
see what difference it has to mpfr (src/tools/mpfr).

the config.log files in each build dir should be useful.  could you
make them available somewhere?  possibly we need to patch gmp for
mips64 to use default not -64.  

libgmp is not installed by netbsd by default; we only build and
link against static versions for the in-tree compiler.  any other
user of these needs their own copy, and this is what is failing
for you.
