this is hard to guess.  configure creates a small file in the current
language (default is C), containing "#include <gmpxx.h>" and tries to
process it.  The "usability" check tries to compile it, which
"presence" means processing by the preprocessor only; but in any
case, it's not a mere check whether the file exists.

These attempts are logged in config.log; visit the log to see the
exact test source file and the error messages from the compiler and
preprocessor.

HTH,
        Stepan
