I did w/ MSYS-1.0.7-i686-2.exe and I'm getting the following
production-error ...

In order to make it explicit what I did, I try to summarize all my
steps:

1) Remove the original MSYS-1.0.8 snapshot

2) Install the latest MSYS-1.0.7-i686-2.exe

3) Start the MSYS-environment.

4) Create my personal ".profile" containing _ONLY_
   - export ACE_ROOT=/d/ACE_wrappers
   - export MINGW_BASE=/mingw

5) Change into directory $ACE_ROOT/ace

6) Call make realclean.
   --- See ace.log.20020910-01

7) Call make
   --- See ace.log.20020910-02

Please also note, that I didn't change the slightly modified
ACE-5.2.4 environemnent at all, i.e.

!!! As suggested by <jwi...@re...>
!!! I updated
!!!           config-win32-mingw.h
!!! to the latest CVS-version.
!!!
!!! As suggested by Krishnakumar B <kitty at cs dot wustl dot edu>
!!! I updated
!!!           platform_ming32.GNU and
!!!           platform_gnuwin32_common.GNU
!!! to the latest CVS-version.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
