Actually you may only build libgpg-error with a cross compiler; in
particular mingw32 (but not using that newer (Debian) gcc-mingw32
thingie, which is broken)

I am not sure whether building libgpg-error as static library works.  It
uses thread local storage and is thus better initialized using
dllmain().  "./autogen.sh --build-w32 --enable-static" might build the
static lib - I can't test right now.
