There's a link flag:  -mwindows

which is supposed to suppress console output.  When I take that out, I  
can see the printf statements, otherwise I don't. I'm using the  
standard GNUstep Windows Installer package.  Perhaps you have a custom  
MingW install that's different?

I know -mwindows is supposed to be deprecated as well.  I'll have to  
update gnustep-make...
