Okay, we tried using the new USE_SHARED option in the cvs (grabbed using
cvs, not the nightly zip, (since you wanted to know)) copy, but that did not
make a difference (i.e. still get the same error on "dmake test"). We think
that maybe trying to get a mingw setup more closely identical to yours may
be the next thing to try. Part of the problem may be incorrect/incompatible
versions of the various mingw packages, and part of the problem may simply
be that we aren't unpacking them all together quite correctly.

To at least make sure that we are trying to work with the same versions,
we'd like to know (if you could) what versions/dates of the various mingw
packages you use. The packages that we have been downloading are the
following:

binutils
gcc (but we already know you're using gcc-2.95.2-20001116)
ld
libbfd
mingw-runtime
w32api

(We have been using 0.4 of mingw-runtime and w32api, to avoid having to go
through the trouble of needing to patch the wxWindows source.)
