You have a really old install of mingw. You might consider starting over
with a fresh install

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-install/

According to some of your messages that you're getting and the version of
gcc you're using, it looks like you have an out-of-date installation of
MingW

The above package will give you the latest tested  packages for MingW. And
then  you can build your other dependencies with an uptodate MingW also.

I think the current tested version of gcc is at 3.4.x: 3.2.3 is pretty old.

And if you can get gcc 4.x to install and work, you're further ahead. Then
you can work with multi-threading on windows.

Again, run ./configure --help

If you don't see --with-livelibdir in the output, then you won't succeed in
using the option. That's an out of date option: i.e. it don't work anymore
in recent versions.

Again, just copy the entire live directory to /usr/lib and then you don't
have to worry about --with-livelibdir. Besides, that option doesn't work
anyway.
