That is OK, and is their prerogative, but then the package should come without the libgmp.dll.a import library (and maybe even without the DLL), because the GNU linker will prefer linking against the DLL if it sees the import library. IOW, their decision seems to be inconsistent with the package contents. (Assuming that the import library you have is not a left-over from some old installation, that is.)
