Says:

gcc -shared -o /c/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/lib/libgrass_psdriver.6.4.0svn.dll ...

      0 [main] sh 432 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to sh.exe.stackdump

The linker crashed trying to generate libgrass_psdriver. This will
cause build failures for libraster and libdisplay, then for all d.*
modules.

Unfortunately, I don't have any answer to this.

You'll need to figure this out yourself. The --with-python option
requires python-config, which isn't provided on Windows. It also
requires SWIG.

But even if you manage to get that to work, I've never managed to
successfully link against the wxWidgets libraries with MinGW.

However: note that --with-python isn't required for Python scripts,
and --with-wxwidgets isn't required for the GUI.
