That is really strange. I just downloaded the src for 8.4.2 and built
with the mingw dist and it worked just fine for me. I also built the
source under Linux with a cross compiler, and it works fine there too.
Could you try to remove the .a files and then run make again? Other
than that, I could only suggest a reboot before attempting it again.
I am running win98 on my machine, is this a problem that only shows
up under NT based systems? Has anyone been able to build under NT
based windows system?
