Well... I tried and if I change the "vasprintf" occurrences in ttyio.c
into "libintl_vasprintf" everything works. 

Moreover, Joe Vender pointed out to me that this problem does not happen
at all if I do a "-static" build. I checked and the building process works
correctly also with the unpatched ttyio.c. 

So it seems a MinGW gcc and/or ld problem (or, at least, of their
configuration)... :-/ 

By the way, do you think it is correct to change "vasprintf" into
"libintl_vasprintf" in ttyio.c? Beside the compilation, also "make check"
seems ok... 

Thank you all for your help!
