Strange.

I don't have any way proper way to run a .exe, it bombed under WINE
though (not sure why).

Maybe you can run it up under gdb (or even ms codeview) and see where
it seems to die.  Does it get through the first mpz_init for instance.

Choosing i386 should be enough to make it work with both, at least as
far as the gmp parts go.

Incidentally, life isn't meant to be quite this difficult. :-)  We've
done what we think is needed for GMP on mingw etc, it's just hard to
be sure without an actual system to run it on.
