[complib:mpfr] Fix building MPFR in some weird cases

The tmul test uses a compiled-in input file in $(srcdir).
The problem is that the Makefile passes it unquoted. The C code
tries to stringify it using clever macros, which may *usually* work.

In my case the source directory was named:
.../toolchain-powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe-1.0-2.fc10/.../tests
And guess what? During testing I found out the program fails because
it tries to open:
.../toolchain-powerpc-e500v2-1-gnuspe-1.0-2.fc10/.../tests

Yes, CPP tokenized the macro before stringifying it and not surprisingly
the 'linux' part was converted to 1.
[on Fedora-10: cpp (GCC) 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7)]

So the attached patch simplify the macros and pass the path as string
from the Makefile.
     1 # Bare metal config options
     2 
     3 config KERNEL_bare_metal
     4     select BARE_METAL
     5     help
     6       'Bare metal' refers to those programs that run without any kernel.

     8       You probably want to say 'y' here if you plan to use your compiler
     9       to build bootloaders. It is not yet suitable to build Linux kernels,
    10       though, because the APCI stuff relies on the target C library headers
    11       being available?!?!...
