The ./configure and make logs

Hi,

    I am trying to build gsl libraries for use with MinGW so that I can develop
wxWidgets applications in Code::Blocks that contain gsl's math.  I have
downloaded some beta versions; however, I did not keep track of which are beta
and which are release.

    I have read that by using --build=x86_64-amd-mingw32 on ./configure's
command line I can obtain libraries suitable for my goal.  But this option (and
i686-amd-mingw32) fail to build.  I have tried several variations of --build,
--host, and --target containing these types and all fail seemingly the same.  I
have attached the configure.log and the stdout stream from make (make.log).

    The gcc that I am using under MicroSoft's bash shell for Windows 10
education is the latest version, but as I said it might be the beta or the
release version.  I will also suggest that the gsl maintainers investigate
this; I expect that your group and their group might work together on this one.

Thank you,

Byron
