I tried a few more times.  It turns out that it is making the dll.  I
was confuse because Zilin Du's page has dlls named "gmp.dll", but it's
actually named libgmp-3.dll in the .libs directory.

Anyway I built once more with a clean directory untarred at the disk's
outermost directory and configured without a "--prefix" and with most
programs shut down (I have 1 gig memory, but still).  Link failed with
a segfault again.  I did a "make clean", configed again, this time
with no "--build" specified, but still with "--enable-fat" and,
"--disable-static" and "--enable-shared"

This time the build succeeded but "make check" failed all tests.

I tried copying the dll to the test directory - still failed
I tried copying the dll to \Windows\system32 - still failed
I tried copying the dll to one named "gmp.dll" - still failed
I tried copying the dll to one named "libgmp-4.dll" - still failed

I tried "make install" then "make check" - still failed

I wish it said something about HOW it fails.

When I run the tests directly, they exit without printing anything.
No complaint but nothing printed either.  I would guess that if they
weren't finding the dll, there would be an error message.

Any idea what's going on?
