  I have successfully built gmp-5.0.1 with mingw64 on Winows Vista, 64 bits, 
  last year.
  
  My configure command line was:
  
    configure --disable-static --enable-shared ABI=64 --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32
  
  As a matter of fact, I also send a patch to the GMP team, that fixes an issue 
  with the name of the .def file created during the compilation of a GMP DLL, 
  but that patch was ignored. See my mail "GMP-5.0.1 with Mingw32: incorrect 
  .def filename" dated "Mon, 14 Jun 2010 18:15:23 +0200" send to gmp-bugs.
  
I am sorry nobody followed up on your message.  It arrived during my
holiday, and therefore I missed it.

I looked at the patch briefly now.  I need to look more.  The amount of
change is very limited, if the changes to generated files are ignored,
bu I need some more time anyway.  I've added this to my GMP TODO list,
so it will not be forgotten again.

(If you're into Windoze-64, you might get some joy from a very recent
GMP snapshot.  GMP is now almost as fast on that system as under *nix.)
