As you can see, "d:/mingw/lib/" and "/mingw/lib/" appear in this. They should have appeared in Markus's list as well. So, I think all points to a broken installation (either gcc, or Mingw, or MSYS).

Okay, I tried with a complete re-install of my MinGW now, and things keep getting weirder. I'm getting the following error message:

./gcc.c: In function `process_command': ./gcc.c:3735: error: assignment of read-only location ./gcc.c:3737: error: assignment of read-only location ./gcc.c: In function `fatal': ./gcc.c:6404: warning: traditional C rejects ISO C style function definitions ./gcc.c: In function `error': ./gcc.c:6418: warning: traditional C rejects ISO C style function definitions ./gcc.c: In function `notice': ./gcc.c:6431: warning: traditional C rejects ISO C style function definitions make[1]: *** [gcc.o] Error 1 make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

This is an old gcc bug that has been fixed in later versions. The attached patch should solve that problem.
