I'm glad it's approximately solved.

But this does not make sense to me. Are you saying that you had to
run extension/configure manually? Or are you saying that you had to
rerun the toplevel ./configure with the additional --with-mpfr=/opt/local
flag?

If you go back to doing what you did when it was broken, what's the output
from 'grep -n -i -A2 mpfr ./config.log extension/config.log'?
