True. That's why I used system gmp on mingw. It drastically reduces build time.

I know you are a one man team, so I hesitated to bother you with port
that noone else seems to use before I tried do fix it myself, but I
didn't get far.

As I can see this it the main problem with ecl. It clearly needs more
maintainers, since one man, no matter how talented he is, just can't
do all by himself.

The problem is that I was not able to build gc-7.1 standalone itself.
I'll try to check Samiums repo with old gc-6.8 which worked.
