Also there's a patch for that on the parallel-wget branch, "MinGW compatibility 
fixes".

I stand corrected, the bootstrapping process appears to work properly with 
mingw now. I tested in a clean XP VM but I couldn't reproduce a build using 
your commands. Can you up your config.log? When I ran configure threads were 
enabled. Did you explicitly disable threads? Yours has:
checking for multithread API to use... none

but mine has:
checking whether imported symbols can be declared weak... no
checking pthread.h usability... yes
checking pthread.h presence... yes
checking for pthread.h... yes
checking for pthread_kill in -lpthread... yes
checking for multithread API to use... posix


Otherwise the configure output is almost identical. Then I ran make and it 
failed because -lpthread wasn't added. saw a lot of this:

../lib/libgnu.a(regex.o):regex.c:(.text+0xa4e5): undefined reference to 
`_imp__pthread_mutex_init'

compiles once added:
gcc  -O2 -Wall   -o wget.exe cmpt.o connect.o convert.o cookies.o ftp.o css_.o 
css-url.o ftp-basic.o ftp-ls.o hash.o host.o html-parse.o html-url.o http.o 
init.o log.o main.o netrc.o progress.o ptimer.o recur.o res.o retr.o spider.o 
url.o warc.o utils.o exits.o build_info.o  version.o ftp-opie.o mswindows.o 
../lib/libgnu.a -lws2_32 -lpthread

I can do --enable-threads=windows or --disable-threads but if I don't do either 
or I do --enable-threads=posix then posix is enabled and the build fails due to 
missing pthread lib.
