I've also made some more tests. My system is Vista x64 with MinGW
5.1.4 Candidate, MSYS 10.0.11. "make check" in for example tests/misc
(only 3 tests) looks like below:

make failed. Exit value 2.

---------------------------

The exe files in the tests/misc directory are a little strange. All of 
them has 7168 bytes. When I'm trying to run any of them I get:

E:\>t-scanf.exe      //with .exe after command

E:\>t-scanf          //without .exe
t-scanf: FATAL: Couldn't find t-scanf.

But I also have the *.exe files in the tests/misc/.libs subdirectory.
Different sizes, all needs libgmp-3.dll to run (checked with and
without dll) and all works. I've copied in all tests subdirectories
*.exe files from .libs to parent directory (one by one after the
error) and I've got in all cases:

---------------

-------------------------

I can describe it, but I don't understand where is the problem :(
