That indicates a problem with MinGW in general.

The problem is *fork*, not the filesystem. Because you can unpack the
sources you should be able to compile locally. Googling "libtool fork:
permission denied" usually leads to the impression that this is a general
MinGW problem and not the gmp's fault.

So:

a) does the problem persist after reboot (this is windows after all ;)
b) do you have admin priviledges on that Windows box? Which Windows
release is it?
c) Do other configure scripts fail in the same way? If yes this is
certainly not a problem of the gmp.

Chances are that Torbjorn will flame you sooner or later because this is
off topic. So this will be my last reply. YOu should really ask the MinGW
folks.

Maybe, but it all depends.
