Whats the configure output from the lines:

checking for libgcc
checking for libstdc++-6.dll
checking for libwinpthread

In the top level Makefile, what are the values of:

gcc_dir
libgcc_dll
libstdcpp_dll
libwinpthread_dir
libwinpthread_dll

What's the full command line when it tries to link pgpcore.la?  You can
get it with:

cd src/playground/build/claws_mail-4.1.1-build/src/plugins/pgpcore/
make V=1
