I had the same problem with Borland C++ 5.5. The cause is a
different object file format for compiled C++ code: MS has COFF,
Borland has OMF and a tool named COFF2OMF. I applied the tool to
python23.dll and could then compile extensions with the Borland
compiler. I have no idea which format Mingw32 uses. But recompiling
the Python source would surely have the same effect as applying
COFF2OMF to MS binaries.

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
