Might be a MSYS problem. pkg-config outputs -LC:/GTKWIN32/lib, but
MSYS for some reason turns that into -LC;C:\MSYS\1.0\GTKWIN32\lib
before invoking gcc.

Are you using the latest version of MSYS? Write a
test program that simply prints out its argv, and invoke it like gcc
above, and see if the -L flag gets mangled oddly.

Do you have the libjpeg.dll that libpixbufloader-jpeg.dll requires in
your PATH?
