How to create lib files

[Chris Saunders]

I think that libgcc.a is only needed if you build using alloca - if you use
malloc-reentrant (going from memory so the spelling may be incorrect) things
should work fine.

I think you would normally construct an import lib for VC6 using VC6's
'lib.exe' and 'libgmp-3.dll.def':
lib /out:libgmp-3.lib /def:libgmp-3.dll.def

Then, in your VC6 projects, link to libgmp-3.lib rather than libgmp.a.

IIRC, if you want to link your VC6 projects to libgmp.a, you need to also
link them to libgcc.a.
