OK.  I'm not familiar with GCC on  Windows.  I believe this
is equivalent to the so-called MinGW because of the -mno-cygwin
flag.

This crash is an assertion failure.  Note that there are two build
configurations on Windows, and you're building the "WINNT"
configuration (the default).  Please try the "WIN95" configuration
by passing the --enable-win32-target=WIN95 option to NSPR's
configure script.  All the people who build NSPR with MinGW
build the "WIN95" configuration, which is used by the Mozilla
clients.
