I corrected this, thought I have the same error. According to the msvc manual [1] either the file does not exist (it's not the case), or I should add the directory containing tommath.lib with /LIBPATH directly. In our case, it's made by the gcc-wrapper, which adds the directories after -L options to the LIB env. variable. The compiler searches in LIB after /LIBPATH directories. So I think it's good too. However, I tried to pass libtommath directory with the LIBPATH option, it does not help either with windows path (cygpath -w) or mixed. I don't know if it's because the msvc compiler cannot handle UNIX style absolute paths (as it is added with -L), but I think it's not the case as well, since in other externals I saw that after the -L option a UNIX form of path name come. Someone had a similar issue here: [2], I'll examie it if you don't have a better idea.
