I wonder if you have perhaps installed the 20040810 mingw additional files 
for 3.4.1, but are still using the main 3.3.3 release?

If not, your system is bizarre, because when I attempt to reproduce what you 
say above, the build never reaches the linking stage - having hit numerous 
errors first due to stricter behaviours in gcc 3.4.

Sidenote to Gerrit:
Perhaps the gcc-mingw-* version numbers should look like 3.4.1_20040810-1 - 
it might avoid some confusion. Or is there a reason not to use just 3.4.1-1 
?

Max.
