debug/gdb: companion libs are not used

Although the gdb ./configure advertises for GMP and MPFR, those libraries
are not used by gdb (the ./configure is used across different packages,
hence the check for GMP/MPFR). See:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2010-08/msg00168.html

The same applies to MPC.

reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g.,
yann@935
     4
MPC8548, MPC8572).  It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent

     5
gcc (4.3.1, for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate

     6
dual-precision floating point instructions by default.

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to

make sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE

    10
ABI/instructions from getting into the kernel (which is currently
yann@935
    11
unsupported).  At this time, the kernel build system only passes

    12
-mno-spe by default (this should be fixed soon hopefully)."
