building GCC failed (/bin/sh gcc-4.9.2/config.sub gmp )

I have the packages installed and in the parent directorty of gcc-4.9.2 and when I specify where the libs are such as --with-gmp it says:

configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `gmp': machine `gmp' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh gcc-4.9.2/config.sub gmp failed

Command:

gcc-4.9.2/configure --with-gmp gmp  --enable-languages=c,c++

The correct way to use --with-gmp is --with-gmp=the/path/to/gmp note the = between and there should be no space. What is happening is configure is treating --with-gmp gmp as two unrelated arguments and is treating gmp as the build, which is usually specified via --build=your-build-target but it seems if you just specify an argument without a - or -- it treats it as the build option.
