Two days ago I tried the autotools-based build method with a fresh MSYS
install + MinGW-w64 4.7.2 (32 bits) and it complained with redefinitions
of some time-related functions. Then tried with MinGW's gcc 4.6.? and it
worked fine.

Maybe TDM is using the MinGW-w64 headers?

BTW, I had to install msys-coreutils-ext package with mingw-get for
avoiding hundreds of messages about non-existing chown executable while
on `make install'.

Apart from that and ignoring the big fat MSYS dependency, using the
autotools build on Windows was smooth enough. Thank you.
