I have tried that:

address@hidden:/usr/bin# ls makensis -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Aug 17 15:02 makensis-> 
/home/rshann/gub/target/tools/root/usr/bin/makensis

but it still stopped with the same error. I don't have those intl symlinks
in since I upgraded to Debian Wheezy, so it seems strange to have
gotten so far as building the installer without it complaining. Perhaps
it is happy because that stuff is already built.

I guess, you aren't seeing this error then? What does your current script look 
like for building mingw?
(I have lost my old emails, well they are buried at any rate).
