In my experience, these sorts of errors arise when there really is something wrong with the code, usually involving sizes of integers (e.g. 'long' in struct's definition and 'int' in another, on a 64-bit machine). However, the linker is poorly-equipped to detect such errors unless the resulting objects have different sizes. So, while I wouldn't rule out miscompilation, I would first check for silently conflicting definitions in different compilation units. At least one list discussion for another project reported a similar gcc-whines-mingw-silent issue, and the resulting mingw binary didn't run properly (which supports the silent conflict hypothesis).
