Thanks for the further information - for some reason it was different
on my system.

I have just completely removed mingw/msys from my system (and deleted
the associated directories) and then allowed the automated mingw
installer to install mingw and msys with no intervention on my part so
its default choices will apply.   MSYS clearly states that mingw
should be installed in a parallel folder but the automated installler
puts msys inside the mingw directory so that I end up with:

15/02/2011  10:05    <DIR>          .
15/02/2011  10:05    <DIR>          ..
15/02/2011  10:03    <DIR>          bin
15/02/2011  10:02    <DIR>          doc
15/02/2011  10:03    <DIR>          include
15/02/2011  10:03    <DIR>          lib
15/02/2011  10:03    <DIR>          libexec
15/02/2011  10:03    <DIR>          mingw32
13/02/2011  18:08    <DIR>          mingw64
15/02/2011  10:03    <DIR>          msys
15/02/2011  10:03    <DIR>          share
15/02/2011  09:59            18,244 unins000.dat
15/02/2011  09:57           756,062 unins000.exe
15/02/2011  09:59    <DIR>          var

The only intervention here on my part is the addition of the mingw64
directory holding the 64 bit tools.

The msys home directory is at:

  Directory of C:\mingw\msys\1.0\home

and contains:

15/02/2011  10:07    <DIR>          .
15/02/2011  10:07    <DIR>          ..
15/02/2011  10:05    <DIR>          Brian Gladman
15/02/2011  10:50    <DIR>          mpir

The build with the command line:

./configure --enable-cxx CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe NM=x86_64-w64-
mingw32-nm.exe AR=x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar.exe CXX=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g+
+.exe

behaves exactly as it has done before and terminates  with:

checking for iconv... no, consider installing GNU libiconv
checking for GNU gettext in libintl... no
checking whether to use NLS... no
checking for GNU C Library... no
configure: Checking for Python

I have now tried many different configurations, all of which fail in
this same way :-(

I get identical results on two different machines.

What should happen after the above point in the build and where should
the build outputs go?
