I'm not sure what your question is, but the gmp/mpfr requirements are 
documented here: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html
complete with links to where to find it.

If you want precompiled binaries then that's a different matter.  We (FSF/GCC) 
do not provide precompiled binaries. gfortran is part of a version of gcc 
that has not been released yet, so there aren't many people making binary 
packages.
