Minor bug during 'make check' under MSys/MinGW

[Alan McFarlane]

Hi folks...

I think i've uncovered a minor bug in the gmp-4.1.4 distribution - an 
undefined reference to 'random'.

Whilst attempting a complete installation from scratch, I performed the 
following operations:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-mpfr
-- completed successfully

make
-- completed successfully

make check
-- failed (see dump at the end of this email)
-- the pertinant lines are:

tabs.o(.text+0x2a): In function `drand':
C:/MSys/local/src/gmp-4.1.4/mpfr/tests/../../mpfr/mpfr-test.h:118: 
undefined reference to `random'

Now, examining mpfr-test.h:118 I found the following expression:
   i[0] = LONG_RAND();

Now, performing a quick search, I found that LONG_RAND is #defined as
   #define LONG_RAND random

However 'random' is neither declared as a function or a #definition 
before this. I can only assume that it should be #defined as
   #define LONG_RAND rand

which would use the stdlib.h rand() function.

As I suspect the compilation succeeds on other platforms, I can only 
suspect that my platform is causing the problem: For ease of bug 
reporting, there is a tool called 'msysinfo' which dumps information 
about my environment:

$ msysinfo
msysinfo-1.3: Send this to the MSYS support list:

As the error is not important (just niggling) I've ignored it and 
continued installation with 'make install' and have been happily using 
gmp without any other apparent problems.

However, I'd be grateful if someone could check, or even confirm, this 
error for me.
