If you aren't using distutils, you should be. Read the manual:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/inst/non-ms-compilers.html

and follow the pointers at the bottom of the page. You will need to
create a file called libpython22.a (that MinGW understands) and put it
in the libs directory of your Python binary distribution (the one
where python22.lib resides).

Here is another link which may now be only of historical interest; I
note that Robert hasn't updated it since 1999.
