config.log
You attached the wrong config.log. We need the one in the x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libgcc subdirectory where configure is failing. Created attachment 15312 [details] x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libgcc/config.log The error in x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libgcc/config.log suggests it has trouble loading libmpfr.so.1.

The fact that they exist there doesn't mean the dynamic loader can find
them unless you tell it. Have you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH? Or edited
ld.conf?
Indeed, adding the MPFR and GPM lib directories to LD_LIBRARY_PATH solves the problem. For some reason I thought configure would handle this for me since I gave it --with-gmp and --with-mpfr settings. Would have been nice if configure tested for this and given a helpful error. In any event I'll close this out as an invalid bug report. Subject: Re: configure: error: cannot compute suffix of

It's the same case when installing any shared library on the system --
you have to inform the dynamic linker of their location (or put them
somewhere it already knows to search) otherwise programs that use that
library can't run. Configure doesn't really know how you want to handle
this: adding a path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH is but one way; you could also
add the path to ld.so.conf, or relink the libraries with the path
hardcoded (RPATH). It wouldn't be very prudent to have configure assume
that it should be adding things to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
The reason the configure checks succeeded is they are checking for
compile time and link time behavior, i.e. they are exercising the link
editor (ld) not the dynamic linker (ld.so). I suppose it would be
possible for configure to try an additional execute check for sanity if
it's not crosscompiling. But the best you could do there is report a
problem, as again fixing it is outside of the realm of configure.

This is on an AMD Opteron system running the 64 bit version of RHEL 4.3 (curious that it is identified as "unknown-linux-gnu"). I'm building 4.3.0 with GCC 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2). My configure command is ../gcc-4.3.0/configure --with-gmp=/apps/gmp/4.2.2 --with-mpfr=/apps/mpfr/2.3.0 --prefix=/apps/gcc/4.2.2 --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,java,objc,obj-c++,treelang The configure completes successfully.
