Do you mean the GCC makefile or the BSD ports makefile?
You don't need to change the GCC makefile to link statically to gmp,
mpfr and mpc. If you put the gmp/mpfr/mpc sources in the gcc source
tree then those sources will be used and statically linked to the gcc
binaries.
If you want to use an existing libgmp.a already installed on the
system, then you might need to change the makefiles to force that to
happen.
