This was a bug caused by -fPIC, which is unnecessary on x86-win32 where 
all code is position independent. This has been fixed for a while now
(I released egcs-1.1.2 Cygwin/Mingw binaries March 17), so I suggest 
you upgrade your compiler. Quite a few other problems found in egcs-1.1 
are fixed 1.1.2 as well.
