Really, no -O ?

Strange (but then I don't have mingw to see such things). Any idea why?

(actually configure only redefines it if it exists ;-)

I think I heard of that one before. And you don't have any problem with 
misc/t-locale.c which also redefines localeconv...

It seems that with mingw64, nl_langinfo is the function that matters and 
that the redefinition of localeconv has no effect (someone can check that 
by removing either redefinition from tests/cxx/clocale.c and checking that 
in one case the test passes and in the other it breaks) and that 
redefining nl_langinfo doesn't cause any linker error, so a very brittle 
workaround should be possible...

That one is explained on the gmplib.org main page.
