Sorry, I don't mean to be unclear: I'm doing this compilation on debian 
unstable, not for windows (though previously I was trying to compile 
tuxnes for windows).

.la is a simple data file that describes the .so and .a files.  I think.

It seems the .so file is not present on my system because the 
libgga-target-aa package isn't installed.  aa is ascii art, so why 
should it be?

When I install the libgga-target-x package things work a bit better. 
Now I just get a segmentation fault:

#0  0x401ca212 in XPending () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6

When I leave off the -r ggi option, the X renderer is used and things work.
