I have, and it doesn't work (at least not fully)... -make emits errors 
when nm is run, and it looks like the names of the .o files are not 
being properly passed off to nm by -make. I just get lots of 
"c:\progra~1\GNUstep\Development\msys\1.0\mingw\bin\nm.exe: 'a.out': No 
such file" written to stdout during a make. this is what nm writes if 
you execute it without any arguments, so I suspect that is what is 
happening.

Otherwise, the patch looks good. I'm not a shell script ninja, 
unfortunately, or I'd have fixed this problem myself.
