That's spot on. The tracker references:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2011-08/msg00648.html

which is very similar to my experience. See also:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36481

The stage 1 cross compiler, cc1, is dynamically linked with libmpfr
and when cc1 is invoked the runtime link fails.

I'm in the middle of debugging that link problem now.
