Yes. You are right I have not  run make Install. Can you please more
specific about location I should specify while running make install.
Will just running make install after make will sufficient. Any config file
changes?

export USERCOMPILE="-Wl,-elf2flt -DCOMPILER_HAS_NO_PRINTF_LIKE -O3 -g
${PORTDEFINE} -I$PREFIX/arm-elf/inc -L$PREFIX/lib/gcc-lib -DGCC_LINT
-DLEAK_DETECTIVE -Dlinux -D__linux__"

I have a doubt here. For me I$PREFIX/arm-elf/inc expend to
/usr/local/**CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/arm-elf/inc
but I do not any arm-elf/inc.Is this something created after I do make
install in GMP Or I should modify this
to -I$PREFIX/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/include ?
