I've got a MinGW with gcc 4.1.1, autotools and the link set up and
have built APR and APR-util from head. I removed an obsolete section
of configure.in which checked for pthread or "Microsoft" threads (rev
492712 against LOGCXX-74). Since we are now using APR to provide
threading, the check isn't necessary and easier to remove it than
make it work on MinGW or explicitly specify a value as Bob Rossi
apparently did.
I've been able to get as far as linking simplesocketserver, but there
I'm getting unsatisfied references (apparently to expat) which appear
later.
I'd be interested in knowing if Bob is getting the same issue, or is
there something different. I'm doing as plain vanilla builds as
possible just specifying --with-apr and --with-apr-util as
necessary. I haven't build or specified the location of cppunit, but
that shouldn't come into play here.
The default autotools build results in at least one significant
difference from the normal Windows build (which copies *.hw to *.h
instead of using configure). The autotools builds define logchar as
8 bit char interpreted as UTF-8 while the regular windows builds uses
16 bit wchar_t interpreted as UTF-16.
Here is the link command and the errors:

The path to libexpat.a appears to be correct.
