I agree, this seems to be a bug. But I'm not sure why it is happening. You've specified prefix, so I don't know why it is trying to put yasm in /usr/bin.
It also doesn't make sense that this hasn't been reported before. MPIR is installed regularly on machines without root access. You certainly don't need --with-gmp=$PREFIX/gmp-6.1.0 in your configure string. And I assume $PREFIX is a directory that you do have permission to write to. Perhaps you can send us your config.log so we can see what wet wrong. Bill.
