Can you look at the generated `config.log' and find the relevant lines?
That is, search for "ltdl" and "gmp"; `config.log' will contain the
exact compiler/linker error message that led it to think libltdl and GMP
are not available, and it will also contain a line indicating "failed
program was:", followed by the program that failed to compile/link.

That should be helpful in trying to nail down the exact cause of the
problem.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
