Dynamic linker under Windows

[Sigbjorn Finne]

Thanks, what did you end up switching to? We've been fortunate
in the past couple of years with gcc/binutils under mingw/cygwin
not to have had any versioning pains, so I really hope this was an
isolated 3.3.1 incident (the nature of the problem does make
it look as if it could be.)

I'll switch over to using gcc-3.4.2 for the nightly builds to see where
takes us.
