I get the same on my Windows Vista box - and have been experiencing this problem for quite some time. Somewhere along the way, I've seen it suggested that it's a problem with the version of libtool - but I've never made any progress with this, and now simply don't run 'make check' when building a 'shared' build of gmp.

On my XP box running 'make check' (shared lib only) leads to a hang just prior to the first set of tests being run - and hitting Ctrl-C then renders the msys shell (and on occasion, the entire machine) unresponsive.

It would be nice if someone (anyone) could come up with a sure-fire solution. I'm quite sure the shared library that gets built is sound, but bypassing 'make check' is still not a good practice.

Incidentally, there's been a new release of the msys shell in the last week or so (a "release candidate", I think). Maybe some brave soul could give it a try and see if that makes any difference.

Cheers,
Rob
