> and even the mingw ld apparently sets its search_dirs without drive letters:

that shouldn't be the problem, though, as the failing part of ./configure was
an indirect call via gcc, which seems to set the library prefixes correctly, when
calling collect2 (see >>>>> below). it was just that the error message looked
exactly right. Monique, perhaps you could send the output from the little test
below, on your system, to compare (win/xp here)?
