Not sure, but I guess so.
As you ask I'll start a build tonight hoping it will be finished by
tomorrow morning and that windows does not automatically restart because
of updates.
The problem is that for some reason configure scripts are awfully slow
(maybe console output? I've check for BLODA, deactivated antivirus, ran in
safe mode etc. but the behavior looked the same; as well, configuring MPIR
is a real pain, especially since we run the configure script twice in the
spkg, and quite strangely configuring GMP seems faster because less
subdirs are treated, maybe some timestamps issues upstreams, or just that
the build systems really diverged...).
I think the previous spkg would have built correctly, it's just it was
already a few hours when I filed the bogus Trac ticket secretly hoping
there was a spkg problem rather than having to wait for another bunch of
hours, and then I went to sleep but Windows decided to restart after 4
hours because of updates (I was aware of that but forgot when I went to
sleep and it was not sufficient to let the build finish).
