A similar story for me. I was building on win32, not with MinGW but
with the free MS tools (see vctk-install.txt), and I had to play the
same trick. I also had to patch udp.c the same way. Then I deleted
posix.c, and replaced it with posixwin.c. Lastly (I think), I
truncated uposix.c (i.e., it's an empty file now). Not a good answer,
but I found that with these, I was able to build a dynamically-linked
interpreter.
