Odd behaviour when building on Win32 using MinGW

["Espen Harlinn" <espen harlinn seamos no>]

I'm trying to build glib-2.2.2 on Windows using MinGW only (not cygwin -
I've tried that too, and it doesn't work very well either - and btw.
both msys and cygwin paths where identical when I did this)
Initally the scripts in 'build\win32' didn't execute, but that was easy
to fix: just put 'sh ' in front of the script names in the make files.

make

ok

make check

9 out of 31 tests fail - see end of file for output 

The module-test seems to fail because PATH is not exported after the
necessary modifications 

shell-test : memory access error

Most of the other failures seems to be related to text handling.

So I'm wondering: is this the normal result on win32 ???

Best regards

How I Invoke configure:
CC='gcc -O3 -mcpu=pentium4 -march=pentium4 -mmmx -msse -msse2
-mfpmath=sse -mthreads -mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields' CXX='g++
-mcpu=pentium4 -march=pentium4 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -mthreads
-mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields' CPPFLAGS='-I/f/MinGW/include'
LDFLAGS='-L/f/MinGW/lib' configure --disable-static --prefix=/f/MinGW
--with-threads=win32 --build=i686-pc-mingw32

I'm linking against the following libraries:
libiconv-1.9.1
gettext-0.12.1 (for libintl)

And they are both configured with:
CC='gcc -O3 -mcpu=pentium4 -march=pentium4 -mmmx -msse -msse2
-mfpmath=sse -mthreads -mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields' CXX='g++
-mcpu=pentium4 -march=pentium4 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -mthreads
-mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields' CPPFLAGS='-I/f/MinGW/include'
LDFLAGS='-L/f/MinGW/lib' configure --disable-static --prefix=/f/MinGW
--build=i686-pc-mingw32

'make check' for both of them was ok.
