OK, thanks.  Next question --- are the installed file locations the same
for a MinGW install and a pginstaller install?  I don't think
pginstaller does a MinGW install because it doesn't have the build
environment in the tarball.

However, the big difference seems to be that Magnus has -Llib and -Lbin,
while you have only the -Lbin.  I have MinGW and pginstaller installed
here.  How can I set things up to test this?
