Subject: Compiling Ruby 1.8.0 with MinGW fails

Hi!

I cannot compile Ruby 1.8.0 with MinGW compiler.

In latest CVS version, there were several errors and after fixing a few
(#ifndef, compar.c ..), I gave it up.

Compiling 1.8.0prev fails after entering in ext modules. Here is the
excerpt:

I have MinGW 2.0.3 compiler running on Win98 (on Win4Lin package under
SuSE Linux).

Any idea?

Sincerely,
Gour

ps. Ruby 1.6.8 & Ruby-GTK2 bindings were compiled normally in the same
environment, but I'd like to try 1.8.x hoping for better runtime
compatibility between mingw32 & mswin32 libraries.
