I am agree.

AC_FIND_GAP is used by some GAP package, so the issue does not concern only 
GAP-IO.
Even if I am agree to say that the implemented location of gmp.h is weak, it 
seems
nevertheless that an external include hierarchy is expected in 
`/usr/lib/gap/bin/<GAP triplet>/extern'.
If this assertion is true, then the --with-gmp=system in GAP does not complete 
its jobs properly,
so it might be a bug in the GAP source itself --- after all, it is GAP itself 
that may point the GMP
material with which it was built.

What do you think ?

Best wishes,
Jerome
