Moritz, WELL DONE! Using a static libxdr.a with nothing changed from the 
link Glynn posted (sorry can't remember where I downloaded it from) makes 
it work. Obviously we still need to work out why, but for now I've 
attached a working libxdr.a to this mail. If you delete libxdr.dll, 
replace it with libxdr.a, make clean, re-configure and re-compile I hope 
it will work for you too.
And then we're well on our way to having an Alpha-version non-Msys Windows 
binary distribution!
