There are two ports of GNU to win32 : cygwin32 and mingw32.
Molner wants you to use mingw32. That's why mingw32 library should be
linked,
and you don't have it ! 

On Molner web page, you have the instructions to download mingw32.
(http://www.mjolner.dk/download/gnu-software.html)

But as I said in a previous message, there is still a problem with the
link phase,
as some object code from the beta system cannot be linked with gnu
(mingw32) ld.
This bug is referenced...

I tried to use cygwin32 ld instead, but the same problem occured.
I think Molner should recompile the object code for gnu SDK, but I may
be wrong. 

Are Molner people reading this, or should I write them ?

Anyway good luck for those who try to use gnu sdk on win32. Don't
hesitate
to tell if you have news.

Daniel Bonniot.

PS : 
You can use a free beta interpreter from
(http://www.daimi.aau.dk/~eernst/gbeta/).
Of course you can't compile your code, but it may be usefull if you
can't wait !
