Apparently

#define LOCALE_SINTLSYMBOL		(0x15)
#define LOCALE_IINTLCURRDIGITS	(0x1A)
#define WC_DIALOG				(MAKEINTATOM(0x8002))

For all these structures the current GNU Win32 API headers use a
slightly different strategy of using TCHAR type declarations for
characters and string members. To be strictly compatible change
all those definitions to the approprate CHAR values (or LPCSTR
and such) for WNDCLASSA etc, and WCHAR (LPCWSTR etc) for WNDCLASSW,
then typedef WNDCLASS according to UNICODE (see Structures.h).

typedef struct _WNDCLASSA
{
  ...
  LPCSTR ...
} WNDCLASSA, *LPWNDCLASSA;

typedef struct _WNDCLASSW
{
   ...
   LPCWSTR ...
} WNDCLASSW, *LPWNDCLASSW;

#ifdef UNICODE
typedef WNDCLASSW WNDCLASS;
#else
typedef WNDCLASSA WNDCLASS;
#endif
typedef WNDCLASS *LPWNDCLASS;

And so on...

Looks like gdi32 to me, at least for the ones you included. And,
don't put -lkernel32 on your command line, it gets linked
automatically and linking the same import lib twice causes errors
(though sometimes subtle ones). You might want to consider using
-mwindows instead (since your program is probably a GUI program
anyway)

Really? Can you tell me what sort of problems you have (so I can
try and fix them for the next release, or at least for you)?
