10-20 minutes should be enough, but it depends on the machine.

However, if you install the GMP development packages (libgmp4-dev or
something like that) it will be instantaneous.

are there any other optional libraries I should make sure I have when  
installing?
looking through the output of ./configure --help nothing jumps out at  
me but,
at this point, it is probably best to ask.

No, nothing else, unless you want to use the bindings to, say, Cairo, or
LibSDL, or zlib, or SQLite.
