It's normally built from lib/gis/dllmain.c. If you didn't build GRASS
itself from source, you can compile just that file with:

	gcc -c dllmain.c

(it shouldn't need any other switches), then pass its path via
DLLMAIN_OBJ.

Those are correct. Check if OBJDIR has the wrong value in
include/Make/Grass.make. It should be:

	# object dir
	OBJDIR		= OBJ.$(ARCH)

I don't know.
