Your problem is probably due to things that are missing in the gcc Mingw libraries (and there are many of them).
I have tracked my specific problem down to the lack of a "pwd.h" file in Mingw (thanks, Chief!). The trouble is that "_p_pwl2c" in "rts.c" references the "passwd" struct, which is defined in "pwd.h", but "pwd.h" isn't part of Mingw. This is detected by the Pascal "configure", which sets "#undef HAVE_PWD_H" in "rts-config.h" but is not covered by alternate code in "rts.c". The result is a syntax error when compiling.
