Details:

just tried to build libSaxObjC using the Windows installer and the latest
snapshot of gstep-make. Apparently gstep-make forgets to add -lFoundation or
-lgstep-base when being on Windows?
---snip---
gcc  -shared -Wl,--out-implib,./shared_obj/libSaxObjC.dll.a        -o
./shared_obj/SaxObjC.dll shared_obj/SaxAttributeList.o
shared_obj/SaxAttributes.o shared_obj/SaxDefaultHandler.o
shared_obj/SaxException.o shared_obj/SaxHandlerBase.o shared_obj/SaxLocator.o
shared_obj/SaxMethodCallHandler.o shared_obj/SaxNamespaceSupport.o
shared_obj/SaxObjectDecoder.o shared_obj/SaxObjectModel.o
shared_obj/SaxXMLFilter.o shared_obj/SaxXMLReaderFactory.o  -L././shared_obj
-L../SaxObjC/./shared_obj -Lc:/GNUstep/Library/Libraries
-Lc:/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries -Lc:/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries

This gives a lot of linking errors due to Foundation symbols not being
found.

Another annoying thing is that if the link above fails, the .dll file is
still created. A subsequent make will claim that everything is perfect
(because a file exists).
Maybe the makefile needs to check whether the build was OK and otherwise
explicitly delete the target file (on Windows).
