GMP configure checks for the availability of %n format specifier.
Because of security reasons, Microsoft has disabled the %n format specifier by 
default.
To use the %n format specifier, _set_printf_count_output(1) must be called.

The intent is that those stdio functions would be working correctly enough in 
general on UCRT, that's why __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO isn't enabled implicitly 
there.

(The main known issue is around long doubles, which are rare in practice.)

Can you dig into why gmp thinks that vsnprintf doesn't work in this case, and 
why mpfr behaves buggily in that case? That's the main contructive way forward 
here, I think.
