When it tests the C compiler it fails due to ld not being able to find -luser32.  This seems to have been used by a lot of other builds.  I am using a recent gcc package.  What can I do to fix this?  Thank you.

Just a guess but it sounds to me like you upgraded only certain packages 
(or setup missed/had problems with some).  Try upgrading again and see if 
that helps.  You're probably looking for the win32api package to resolve
this particular error but I can't promise you won't see other problems if
you just pick-and-choose the packages you upgrade (even those I might suggest) 
without an understanding of how they interrelate.
