Current Makefile.mgw requires to use the Msys + MinGW toolchain and thus requires the Msys make but
not mingw32-make.
It is logically possible to use mingw32-make but you have to modify path name handling.

BTW,

1. You also have to get the pkg-config command working on the if you want to use the cairo based
terminals
(pngcairo, pdfcairo and wxt terminals.) 

2. I myself could not built the gnuplot for a long time. 
But now I am building it about twice per a week.
It is not easy way to build gnuplot on windows but you can do it if you strongly hope to do it.

3. I personally use GCC-4.5.0 but not 3.4.5 on the MinGW from the performance reason.

Good Luck

Tatsuro
