When compiling gnustep-base I have some remark on windows 

1)in inet_pton.c you should add #include <stdint.h> to have definition for
uint8_t

#include <ctype.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/param.h>
+ #include <stdint.h>
#include <errno.h>


2)In Headers\Additions\GNUstepBase\preface.h you should protect
_WIN32_WINNT
because mingw-w64 already defines it:

#if defined(__WIN32__)
#include <w32api.h>
+#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT Windows2000
+#endif
