Hi,

I'm running Vista64, and I got my mingw-w64 compiler from the 
mingw-w64-bin_i686-mingw_20090819.zip package.

I have the 64-bit builds of gmp and mpfr that come with 
mingw-w64-bin-gmp-mpfr-20080604.tar.bz2 .

In the latter package, mpfr is still at 2.3.1. Is there a 2.4.x build of 
mpfr available somewhere ?

Also, is it yet feasible to build gmp and mpfr in the msys shell using the 
w64 compiler ? I've had a couple of goes at building gmp, but configure 
won't accept anything other than ABI=32. (Not that I understand what I'm 
doing all that well, but I had figured I would want ABI=64.) No matter what 
I try, best I can do is to have configure terminate with:

No problems building gmp and mpfr in the msys shell using the mingw32 port 
of gcc-3.4.5 ... it's just the w64 compiler that's being a bit 
unco-operative.

Cheers,
Rob
