Well ... NTFS is not a problem for me on Windows 2000. (I've also, in the 
past, built on FAT partitions without issue.)

If you're using gcc-3.x.x and the latest version of msys then I don't think 
it's an msys/mingw problem (as those versions of gcc/msys usually work 
flawlessly as regards building GMP) - more likely a Windows or permissions 
issue (as Michael suggested).

Which versions of msys (msysinfo) and gcc (gcc -v) are you using ? (For me 
it's 1.0.10 and 3.4.5 respectively.)

What command is it that's being run that evokes the libtool error ?

If none of this helps, the folks at the mingw mailing list might still be 
able to help out with an explanation/solution - even if it's *not* an 
msys/mingw issue. So, as Michael also suggested, feel free to give them a 
buzz ( https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-users ).
