I have not paid a lot of attention to this thread.  But I am curious here - who do you think is /forcing/ you to compile their code?

 OK, tell me where to get ready-made DLLs for GMP and LIBFFI that I can can use on Windows. If that's not possible then there is no choice (other than not to use them at all, which is what I do).[...]

FWIW, vcpkg can build them all for you and optionally integrate them directly into MSVC.
