First, thanks very much for the reply Doug.  I don't know what "the 
mercurial 5.0 branch" is.  Could I ask for an explenation?  Also, does your 
reply mean that I can ignore the error I got from make check?  I used MSYS 
to build MPFR using 
"./configure --disable-shared --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 
--with-gmp-build=/home/chris/gmp-5.0.1" 
and make check ran with no errors.

Regards
Chris Saunders
