It sounds like you selectively picked things to install and missed an
important piece.  If you didn't install the w32api package, you need to
do this.  This should create the missing /usr/lib/libuser32.a file.

If you did install it then you have another problem.  The command:

gcc -v hello.cc -o hello

may show what the problem is.
