[GRASS-windows] Compiling grass7 on msys/mingw?

So as I understand all of this, the xdr library builds as a static
library based on the instructions (ie. what I did), but the grass
configure script only searches for a dynamic library? Looking at the
config.log I think I see some reference to dynamic libraries... but
I'm not familiar enough with configure/make processes.

configure:5530: checking for xdrmem_create
configure:5556: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2    -I/usr/local/include
-Wl,--export-dynamic,--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc  -L/usr/local/lib
conftest.c  1>&5
./configure: /mingw/bin/gcc: Invalid argument
configure: failed program was:
#line 5533 "configure"

If there's no easy answer to this I'll just wait for your build of
grass 7 when it comes along. Thanks.
