I don't know where that comes from, presumably it's something from
cygwin.

There's notes on stdio with a mingw DLL and msvc in the gmp manual
under "Notes for Particular Systems".

Brian Gladman on this list might have reported success building gmp
with msvc, which might be easier than trying to mix and match.

obstack.h is found on GNU systems.
