Probably best to ask Fedora MinGW questions on the Fedora MinGW list
next time ...

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-mingw

In this case the error is that the script uses 'ar' to create a static
library.  Either use 'i686-pc-mingw32-ar rcs' to make the library, or
run 'i686-pc-mingw32-ranlib' on the library generated above by 'ar'.
