Of course, that's the problem: the command line should say

  -DSHLIBEXT=\"dll\"

because the value should be a C string.  I don't understand how come you
came up with the command line with no quotes.

[J] I guess that my amendments to the make file for config purposes confused
not only me, but make as well in the end, so I had started to put the
command line together 'on foot'. 
I have just tried the compilation with a fresh make file with no adjustment.
Running 'make mingw32' went through like a charm. Running make in the
extension sub-folder produced the only error:

        gcc -I.. -shared -gdwarf-2 -g3 -static-libgcc -o testext.dll
testext.c
        In function `test_deferred': testext.c:401: undefined reference to
`getuid'

Same to you.

[J] Thank you very much - and many thanks for your time.

Best,
J.
