Seems that you're passing simply --with-mpfr, however:

  AC_ARG_WITH(mpfr,
  [AS_HELP_STRING([--with-mpfr=PATH],
                  [specify prefix directory for installed MPFR package.
                   Equivalent to --with-mpfr-include=PATH/include
                   plus --with-mpfr-lib=PATH/lib])])

... so it is interpreted to mean that the prefix MPFR is installed in is
yes/include (perhaps we should warn for the 'yes' case - that'd be less
confusing).  I think you should be able to get away without passing
--with-mpfr at all if your toolchain has mpfr available (and there's no
mpfr in the toplevel, to inhibit the toplevel trying to build its own
copy).

Hope that helps, have a lovely night.
