config.log says:

# ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-pthreads --arch=x86
--cpu=i686 --extra-cflags='-march=i686 -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -msse
-DPTW32_STATIC_LIB'

Do I have to call "configure" with -O3 and -fomit-frame-pointer
to get a chance to have EBP automatically activated? If I try
to do that, I'm getting this:

configure --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-pthreads --arch=x86
--cpu=i686 --extra-cflags='-o3 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=i686 -mfpmath=sse
-mmmx -msse -DPTW32_STATIC_LIB'

"ERROR: MinGW runtime version must be >= 3.15."
