It wasn't there! I think the problem is this bit in lib/driver/Makefile:
ifneq ($(HAVE_SOCKET),)
   LIB_OBJS += \
         main.o\
         command.o\
         connect_fifo.o\
         connect_sock.o
endif

$HAVE_SOCKET is empty because the configure script isn't detecting sockets 
properly. This page: http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/sockets 
appears to give some useful information on what needs done but I'm not 
sure if some or any of it has been done already in other parts of GRASS? 
E.g. how have some people got native Windows GRASS working and not come 
across this before?
