The ^A is actually a bash problem on Windows (or maybe specifically
with the msys version). It was a couple of years ago that I ran into it,
so I don't remember the details, but it was something involving the
newline stripping behavior of backticks (``) when run on the output of
pkg-config.

I also don't remember how I worked around it ... I think I wrote a 
wrapper script around pgk-config that either added or removed a newline.

You might want to check that you have the newest versions of msys and
mingw as a first step.
