What are you trying to compile ?
Compiling 64bit PARI code on Windows is tricky.

Maybe not. I never tested on a real MinGW (6.1.0)+MSys system, instead I
use a mingw cross compiler on linux.

It seems that Configure report
...Found TIOCGWINSZ.
instead of 
...I did not find TIOCGWINSZ.

Could you send me your file O*/config.log ?

Could you try to build PARI 2.8.0 ?

Cheers,
Bill.
