Everybody does things differently.  The way I do it on a new system is:

SRC=<source dir> 
OBJ=<object dir>
INS=<install dir>

# Install gmp
$ cd $OBJ
$ mkdir gmp-4.2.2
$ cd gmp-4.2.2
$ $SRC/gmp-4.2.2/configure --prefix=$INS/gmp-4.2.2 --disable-shared
$ make all install

# Install mpfr
$ mkdir ../mpfr-2.3.1
$ cd ../mpfr-2.3.1
$ $SRC/mpfr-2.3.1/configure --prefix=$INS/mpfr-2.3.1 --disable-shared \
  --with-gmp-lib=$INS/gmp-4.2.2/lib --with-gmp-include=$INS/gmp-4.2.2/include \
  --with-gmp-build=$OBJ/gmp-4.2.2
$ make all install

# Install compiler (assuming you don't need to build a new binutils)
$ mkdir ../gcc-4.4
$ cd ../gcc-4.4
$ $SRC/gcc-4.4/configure --prefix=$INS/gcc-4.4  --with-gmp=$INS/gmp-4.2.2 \
  --with-mpfr=$INS/mpfr-2.3.1
$ make all install check
