Watch this space.
I've figured out the major problem - it looks like both MSYS/MinGW and cygwin/MinGW environments need "g++" to be used to link the final DLL, not "gcc". Changing SHLIB_LD in the Makefile to g++ allowed the build to continue to completion and the examples run perfectly. As an aside, I did notice that the section of configure.in that evaluates $build_os does not recognize my cygwin install as cygwin, since $ uname -s CYGWIN_NT-5.1 i.e. the case is different to the cyg* pattern match attempted in configure.in. There's no code at all to set correct extensions for MSYS/MinGW. Jean-Claude, I can have a go at fixing this if you'd like a patch.
