H Pierre,
There is no plan to support MASM in the WIndows build of MPIR.
By using YASM we can use the same assembler on both Unix/Linux and
Windows.
In contrast MASM is a Windows only product and this would make it more
difficult to develop assembler code that can be eaasily used wth both
GCC and VC++.
