Probably not that helpful but looking at this

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=102435&aid=1232427&group_id=2435

Looks like there is more trouble down the road (more missing symbols) in 
this library.

In another message you asked why gcc (actually ld) can't just use a .lib 
file under windows


Take a look at this

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/gnu-linker/win32.html

Not sure it will help, but it looks promising (may require you to add 
some -L flags or re-arrange your environment)



Also, I was pretty sure that more recent versions of gcc/ld could 
directly link to a .lib.
