The build failed even with MinGW-w64.  Does this mean that gettext cannot be 
built on Windows now?

I performed the following steps:

1. On Windows Vista, invoke command prompt.

2. SET PATH=D:\MinGW32\bin;%PATH%
The MinGW-w32 is installed in D:\MinGW32.

3. Start MSYS on the same command prompt.
cd D:\MSYS
MSYS.bat

4. On the MSYS (bash) command line, build gettext as follows:
cd /d/packages/gettext-0.18.2.1
./configure --prefix=/d/build/gettext --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --build=i686-w64-mingw32 
\
   --with-libiconv-prefix=/d/build/libiconv \
   CPPFLAGS="-I/d/build/libiconv/include" LDFLAGS="-L/d/build/libiconv/lib" 
\
   LIBS="-liconv"
make

I got the below error, which is different from before.
