Thanks. I found the same GH issues and ended up using these values, and
with these `gmp` built fine.

    $ echo $CC_FOR_BUILD
    /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
    $ echo $CPP_FOR_BUILD
    /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-cpp

I also shifted to a native Ubuntu-20.04 host (not VM, not WSL), but
unfortunately ran into another problem. I can't provide the full log
because my tmux buffer holds only 5K lines, but I hope the pertinent
parts are there (see below).

The error is related to `pgpcore` not finding the «pthread» library (I
think).
