First, to get people reading this list to use our wiki page:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/MSYS
It mentions the solution I describe below for your problem.
Some oddities:
----------------------
- build system type should always be reported as i686-pc-mingw32, but I'm
assuming this is a typo.
- It might be necessary to keep a copy of the prefixed toolchain (the
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe and so forth), especially when using MSYS because
you are *essentially* crosscompiling. If you hate renaming everything and
don't *need* GCC 4.5, use sezero's toolchains, they are "MSYS-ready" so to
speak (contain both prefixed and unprefixed copies).
- I tried configuring GMP and am also having trouble. It seems configure is
not pleased with ld or gcc/g++ as a linker (should be reported imho,
link.exe is a coreutils app, not part of any toolchain).
A solution:
----------------
I just built GMP successfully:
configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32
--enable-shared --disable-static --enable-alloca=no
make
make check
make install
The "target" is not necessary for most other builds, but apparantly GMP
requires it.
FYI: I have uploaded my compile of GMP 5.0.1 for x64 Windows. Just unzip the
x86_64-w64-mingw32 folder to your mingw64 folder (so that the lib, bin and
include folders match up of course). This failed the one test that has been
patched upstream, but the bug was in the test itself, the build and library
itself is fine (see this
thread<https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=AANLkTilYfIjBVRPLt645F14gLERcp9-2hVCMF-azj0Qr%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=mingw-w64-public>for
an explanation).
