  for helping me get this far.
  
It will help, but finding a non-Windoze system will help much, much
more.

We need to add a layer of abtraction for the x86-64 assembly code, and
then generate both standard-conformant assembly code and Windoze
assembly code.  This is not a trivial task, as no conventions are the
same (different argument passing registers, different sets of
caller-saves and callee-saves registers).

I think no GMP developers have access to Windoze, so this project is
stalled.
