'wine curl.exe' works just fine :)

and 64-bit, pretty much the same
$ sudo mv /path/to/mingw64/lib/libz.dll.a

I think I found in the config.log where it is adding the libraries twice:

but I don't know why, or how to fix it. swapping
- LIBS="-lgdi32 $LIBS"
+ LIBS="$LIBS -lgdi32"
didn't fix it, i think because it might be the order in which it's added.
but it's definitely on the correct track.

I don't think I can compile it as a shared library yet because I think I'm
missing some shared dependency libraries
If I get closer to getting it to do shared libraries I'll post what I find.

Thank you all for your help
