I never did get the boinc libraries to build via mingw/msys. I am not sure if it's something I was doing wrong, or if the problem is with the boinc code.
If anyone is interested, what did work for me was building with MinGW from linux as a cross compiler. It did require a couple minor tweaks to the boinc code, but other than that I got working libraries (my apps are working as expected).

I started with the instructions here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CompileAppWin under the section "MinGW command-line". Other than needing to manually install pkg-config (doesn't come with mingw), the _autosetup and configure steps completed successfully. But I am currently stuck on the "make -f Makefile.mingw" step. The compiler is looking for a bunch of windows headers which do not exist in mingw, but I did find them in my Visual Studio directory. I played around with including these Visual Studio headers but that just led to other errors. Does anyone have any guidance here on how to proceed? Is there some mingw package I need to manually install that will give me the necessary win32 headers? Thanks!
