The culprit of my troubles turned out to be the GCC compiler
option '-ansi' in "src/Makevars". Why this causes a problem
is not known at this time. My Makevars for the example program
was as below:

    PKG_CFLAGS=-Wall -ansi -pedantic -DDEBUG_RWT -I./
    PKG_LIBS=-lm

Creating a Windows-specific config file "src/Makevars.win"
without that option solves the problem.

    PKG_CFLAGS=-Wall -pedantic -DDEBUG_RWT -I./
    PKG_LIBS=-lm

Many thanks to Uwe Ligges for figuring out the cause.
