For that, I use something like the attached patch, which should apply
cleanly to gcc 4.3.3, but most likely also to later versions.

After building the toolchain, you can check out the dependencies with
ldd, for example:

$ ldd $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/libexec/gcc/$TARGET_TRIPLET/4.3.3/cc1
          linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00a5b000)
          libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00110000)
          /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00996000)

So it only links dynamically with glibc, while it contains gmp and mpfr
statically:

$ strings $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/libexec/gcc/$TARGET_TRIPLET/4.3.3/cc1|grep -E "gmp|mpfr"

mpfr_from_real
