At Cygin command shell, ld --version gives the following output:
GNU ld version 2.17.50 20060817

In fact, this is the version of Cygwin ld. The version for MingW is different.

not sure whether this is relevant, but there is no drive letter in that library path.
cygwin doesn't know about /mingw anyway, but if i am in a cmd shell, it does matter what drive i'm on, as absolute paths without drive letter will default to the root of that drive:
D:\>c:\mingw\bin\ld \mingw\lib\crt2.o -M | find "OUTPUT" c:\mingw\bin\ld: \mingw\lib\crt2.o: No such file: No such file or directory
C:\>c:\mingw\bin\ld \mingw\lib\crt2.o -M | find "OUTPUT" .. OUTPUT(a.exe pei-i386)
I suspect this may be because gcc has managed to pick up the Cygwin ld instead of the mingw one. Monique - what exactly is your PATH? What happens when you say 'ld --version'?
Cheers, Simon
