The problem is, as a fork of GMP, it too tries to be too clever with 
libtool in an attempt to shorten configure times by avoiding the CXX/F77 
checks.  Those hacks are not only unnecessary with libtool 2.x, they are 
incompatible with it.

Run the following to remove the offending 25 lines of configure:

sed -i -e '/# Enable CXX/,/AC_PROVIDE/d' configure.in

Then you still need to teach configure.in about Cygwin wrt -f 
win32/win64 and which asm sources to use before running (cyg)autoreconf.
