That should now be fixed with the current pkglist.txt and 
pkglist32.txt. I actually had included the gtk2 and fftw packages in 
the lists. I think the trouble was that I'd inadvertently included my 
own gretl-mingw package: that would not be found in the standard 
repositories, which may have aborted the downloading.

One small note: the *toolchain package is a meta-package that includes 
a lot of things, some of which are not needed for a gretl build. If 
you install the meta-package then you can safely delete the ada and 
objective-C compilers:

pacman -R mingw-w64-x86_64-ada mingw-w64-x86_64-objc
