My advice:

- Use MSYS-1.0.7 instead. There's a prerelease available for download on www.mingw.org
- remove the "--target=i586-mingw32msvc" line that you use when running your ./configure script
- don't use the "gmake" hack anymore, make should be working now.
- make sure you also installed MINGW-1.1 under your msys tree (it should be located in msys/1.0/mingw)
- make sure msys/1.0/mingw/bin/make.exe isn't in the way as MSYS provides a better one. (to be sure just rename it to something like make.old)

If you want a better description of the procedure to follow, the INSTALL.win32 file has been updated in the cvs repository. (if you want you can access it through the CVSWEB interface on www.videolan.org)
