In this case it is likely that you did not have it available on your
installation or need to add
        "CPPFLAGS=-I/folder/containing/it"
often
        "CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include"

as argument to the configure script.

This came up before, see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnucobol/2016-11/msg00002.html

In short (as one can see in the testuite.log you've attached):
The system does not support the -R option which was added by the
configure script. The configure script did not recognized it as the
compiler just executes a warning, not an error - but the testsuite
checks the user-visible output which is full of it.

Different solutions are provided in the link above, the simplest one is
to add
        --disable-rpath

as argument to the configure script (but in this case you have to ensure
that LD_LIBRARY_PATH / DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH / whatever your system uses)
includes the folder containing your libraries (like libgmp) and the
place you'll install GnuCOBOL to (defaults to /usr/local/lib if not
changed via --prefix).
