Thanks for sending me the config.log file.

The log starts well:

[...]

configure:6824: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:6827: gcc -m32 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=k6 -march=k6
-mno-cygwin   conftest.c  >&5
configure:6830: $? = 0
configure:6876: result: a.exe
configure:6881: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:6887: ./a.exe
configure:6890: $? = 0
configure:6907: result: yes

[...]

Then, something strange happens:

configure:7666: gcc -c -m32 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=k6 -march=k6
-mno-cygwin  conftest.c >&5
gcc.exe: conftest.c: No such file or directory
gcc.exe: no input files
configure:7672: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
[no output]

[...]

More strangeness follows later:

configure:7855: checking for build system executable suffix
configure:7869: gcc conftest.c -o conftest.exe
gcc.exe: conftest.c: Permission denied
gcc.exe: no input files
configure:7872: $? = 1
configure:7869: gcc conftest.c -o conftest,ff8
gcc.exe: conftest.c: Permission denied
gcc.exe: no input files
configure:7872: $? = 1
configure:7869: gcc conftest.c -o conftest
gcc.exe: conftest.c: Permission denied
gcc.exe: no input files
configure:7872: $? = 1
configure:7882: error: Cannot determine executable suffix

 From the top of the log, I see:
uname -m = i686
uname -r = 1.0.10(0.46/3/2)
uname -s = MINGW32_NT-5.1
uname -v = 2004-03-15 07:17

Could you try it with MSYS 1.0.11? Perhaps there is a race condition
that was solved between 1.0.10 and 1.0.11.

To install it, download the file

File Name:
msysCORE-1.0.11-20080826.tar.gz
Download Page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=24963

Also, I see:
configure:6785: checking for C compiler version
configure:6788: gcc --version </dev/null >&5
gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.2 (mingw-special)

Could you try upgrading to the latest gcc (3.4.5)?

Finally, from the very beginning:

It was created by GNU MP configure 4.2.2, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

   $ ../gmp-4.2.2/configure

Could you try the latest gmp (4.2.4)?
Also, I recommend adding "--enable-shared --disable-static" to the 
configure call.

Cesar
