--with-gmp and --with-libgmp-prefix

Hi Joel,
I was talking to a colleague and we noticed the top-level binutils-gdb
configure accepts --with-gmp, which looks like what gcc's configure uses
to specify the gmp library installation path.
But gdb's configure expects that information to be passed through the
--with-libgmp-prefix switch. Was that a deliberate choice (I'm looking
at commit 2c947d9bc2ff3b84f1676b83577fe1bba05b4a5f).
When one is used to building gcc, it is a little odd to have to specify
--with-libgmp-prefix instead of --with-gmp.
The top-level configure lists this:
--with-gmp=PATH specify prefix directory for the installed GMP
package. Equivalent to
--with-gmp-include=PATH/include plus
--with-gmp-lib=PATH/lib
And gdb's configure lists this:
--with-libgmp-prefix[=DIR] search for libgmp in DIR/include and DIR/lib
I'm wondering if we can reuse the top-level configure's --with-gmp option.
