I was earlier missing gmp library when building strongswan for mips. So I
tried building the gmp library for mips but it failed as I don't have the
permissions for the path. The error is due to that.

Agreed. The GMP header would be installed dynamically in the system. Is
there a way to configure without GMP . I am using Octeon SDK

Could you please elaborate on  "-L/-I LDFLAGS/CFLAGS " on this.
