xmlrpc-c & libwww hangs in WIN32 environment

I'm having some troubles with xmlrpc-c + libwww on Windows. I'm using the 
MinGW cross compiler environment, and for some reason, xmlrpc applications 
won't work. More precise, any calls hangs in a busy loop. I've identified 
the loop to these lines of code in xmlrpc_client.c:

    while (!info->is_done) 
	HTEventList_newLoop();

A network trace shows that a TCP connection is established, but no data is 
sent in either direction. 

When configuring libwww, I had to modify the configure script and
hardcode some values, for example the size of char * (since it's not
possible to test this when cross-compiling). Is it a better idea to
replace wwwconfig.h with http://www.w3.org/Library/src/windows/config.h?

I've enabled debugging with HTSetTraceMessageMask("sop"); a log is 
included below. Any ideas of what may cause this, or how to narrow down 
the problem?

Details of my environement:
Build host: RedHat Linux 7.1
Compiler & environ: GCC 3.2, latest binutils, latest MinGW distribution
Libwww version: 5.4.0
xmlrpc-c version: 0.9.10
Target host: Windows 2000, with upgrades
