While trying to install GCC 6.4.0 on Alpine, I run into:

checking for the correct version of gmp.h... yes
checking for the correct version of mpfr.h... yes
checking for the correct version of mpc.h... yes
checking for the correct version of the gmp/mpfr/mpc libraries... no

But in /usr/lib, which seems to be the standard lookup directory, I have:

libgmp.a
libgmp.so
libgmp.so.10
libgmp.so.10.3.2
libmpc.so.3
libmpc.so.3.0.0
libmpfr.so.4
libmpfr.so.4.1.5

What could be wrong?
