newbie plugin compiling problem.

So I would like to be able to compile a plugin for wingimp under
windows 2k.

I downloaded all the release and development packages off Tor's site,
and installed them as suggested.  I also grabbed the gimp source, so
that I would have a body of example plugin code to look at.

Next I took the colortoalpha.c and config.h.win32 files from Tor's
gimp src, put them in a dev dir, and wrote a little makefile using
output from pkg-config and gimptool:

colortoalpha.exe : colortoalpha.o 
	gcc -o colortoalpha.exe colortoalpha.o -Lc:/gimplibs/lib -lgimpui
-lgimp -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv  

colortoalpha.o : colortoalpha.c 
	gcc -c colortoalpha.c  -Ic:/gimplibs/lib/gtk+/include
-Ic:/gimplibs/include/glib-2.0 -Ic:/gimplibs/lib/glib-2.0/include  
-Ic:/gimplibs/include

If I try to compile this calling make from the dos shell, I get the
following error:
ld: cannot open -lgimpui: No such file or directory

However, if I call make from cygwin's bash shell, the plugin compiles
without complaints.  But when I replace the colortoalpha.exe in the
plugin directory with my version, colortoalpha crashes when I try to
call it from gimp 
--The instruction at "0x6dcf2600" referenced memory at
"0x000000062".
The memory could not be "read".

My first thought was that I might somehow be invoking the wrong
version of gcc from the cygwin shell, but `gcc -v` prints out exactly
the same thing when I call it from both the dos shell and cygwin:
Reading specs from c:gcc-2.95.2bin..libgcc-libi386-mingw322.95.2specs

Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?
(I've tried adding the -mwindows -mcpu=pentium -mms-bitfields -O2
flags to my LFLAGS as suggested by an earlier post.  But it didn't
help.  I also tried switching pentium to athlon (my own cpu type) but
that failed as well.)
