Please figure out how to copy and paste including line terminators, or paste
into an editor and reformat before pasting into email.

You should normally be building in a directory e.g build, separate from that in
which configure resides e.g.

	$ mkdir build
	$ cd build
	$ ../src/configure ...

in which you should find config.log which should show all the details of all the
programs generated and run to check all the features required and all the
results from those runs.

I have found it useful if not necessary to install libgmp-devel with
mingw64-{x86_64,i686}-gmp, pkg-config with mingw64-{x86_64,i686}-pkg-config, and
similarly with other packages required for cross-builds.
