Is it a very old gnustep-make that you are using ?  1.10 was released in 
September 2004 ... a *long* time ago ;-)

The MINGW32 building machinery have been rewritten since then!  We are not 
using dllwrap/dlltool anymore :-)

So the main suggestion is getting more recent base/make/gui packages. 
I'm not entirely familiar with the Windows binaries, we don't seem to have 
anything more recent on the website ? :-(

To build from source, you can follow the instructions at --

http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/User/GNUstep/README.MinGW

That will very likely work but it's a bit more troublesome than using the 
installer. :-(

PS: For other developers ... How is the Windows installer created ?  Is 
there a standard procedure ?  Can I build general machinery into 
gnustep-make to build Windows installers ?

If anyone has got a working script / procedure to build a Windows 
installer, I'd be interested in looking at it ... ;-)

Thanks
