Thanks for your help! I modified the specs file, I delete the 
"%{shared|mdll: -e _DllMainCRTStartup@12 --enable-auto-image-base}" option 
in the "*link:" section. After doing this, I can link my project normally. I 
can understand what your warning means, I will add "-e 
_DllMainCRTStartup@12 --enable-auto-image-base" option manually in the 
command line when I build a win32 dll. Am I right? Or any good suggestion 
you can give me?

BTW, where can I find the manual about the specs file used by MinGW.

Thanks!
