I have no idea how to do that; the make structure of ECL is
extremely complicated, and I've never built anything significant on
Windows before.  I've done a lot of Linux building (I'm a sysadmin
for a living), but I wasn't looking to have an adventure here, just
get a working CL.  Anyways, like I said, the GMP bits seem to be
working after I hacked mpn/x86/x86-defs.m4
