Thanks - that worked fine with gmp-6.1.0.

I also had to set some environment variables - eg NM=x86_64-w64-mingw32-nm , 
otherwise configure runs /usr/bin/nm and fails. But this is as expected.

I assume that if one wants a 32-bit build, one simply uses the "i686" cygwin 
package instead of the "x86_64" one.

Nice !!

Cheers,
Rob
