The MinGW cruft was removed from osgeo4w (maybe still not complete, but
anyway). I updated my package.sh accordingly (see ticket #1271).

For starters the mingw-libs package with the library copies (foo.lib =>
libfoo.a) are gone and package.sh now copies them before running configure.
That's probably what hits you here.

indeed, I'm going through step by step through your patch from #1271.

thanks for your hint, I will try this part of the patch.

best regards
Helmut
