Thanks for the tip, that finally helped me track it down.

It turns out that the MinGW compiler doesn't understand the ".lnk" 
files cygwin uses to simulate symbolic links (which is obvious once you 
think about it, I just didn't know such a simulation was taking place, 
but that is also obvious once you think about it...)

Solution:  replace the symbolic link from Foundation to gnustep/base 
with a copy of the directory.

I love Windows... ;-)
