This almost worked;)

Here's a more precise description of the problem:

My MinGW is installed at c:\Program Files\MinGW.
In MSYS this directory is mounted in /mingw.
The MSYS PATH is /mingw/bin:/bin
(in this order because the make that came with MSYS keeps complaining
about a missing dll. Strange.) 
In the following, my comments are on lines beginning with "---":

cd Mesa-4.0.1
mkdir bld
cd bld
../configure --prefix=/mingw
make

--- configure works OK, builds the Makefiles and other stuff
--- make starts processing the Makefile, but the libtool script doesn't
--- quite work: it gives an output like this with every source file

To me it seems as if libtool were trying to call some MSVC-style linker
with switch /OUT:outputfilename.


I also tried compiling Mesa-4.0.2 which has also been released. In this
case the configure script failed:

../configure: line 10959: syntax error: unexpected end of file

This looks like a bug in the Mesa release, not something concerning MinGW.
