You haven't finished reading the thread. The problem was
deeper and the regression has been identified as an
accidentally inverted test. Adding -no-undefined was not
the correct answer (I hinted at that suspicion in my
original message), but if your setup works with git
master, then your setup does not behave as the real
MinGW behaves when trying to link with undefined symbols.

Cheers,
