Get rid of the .la file.  It is likely causing you grief and isn't required.

mingw-get has been told to store -mingw- files in c:\mingw and -msys-
files in c:\mingw\msys\1.0 since this is what we developers have decided
for best supported scenario.  Be careful with msys-git, it includes a
forked copy of MSYS and may get in the way of what you are trying to do.
 Be sure not to include in the Windows PATH settings paths to MSYS or MinGW.

When configuring the software for use with MinGW it is best suited for
you to use a prefix of c:/mingw (assuming you've installed MinGW there).
