OK

OK.

I have no idea how it got there. I can try to purge the existing
installation, start from scratch and see where the file comes from.

As outlined in my other post, adding -lpcre to the LIBS makes the
compilation work:

$ ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc \
    CXXFLAGS="-mthreads -I/usr/local/i586-mingw32msvc/include" \
    LDFLAGS=" -mthreads -L/usr/local/i586-mingw32msvc/lib" \
    LIBS="-lpcre -lcrypto -lws2_32 -lgdi32" 
[..]
Regular expressions: yes
Large files:         no
Berkeley DB:         no
Readline:            no
Extended attributes: no

$ make

(cd parcels; tar cf - boxbackup-trunk_2461M-backup-server-mingw32msvc |
gzip -9 - > boxbackup-trunk_2461M-backup-server-mingw32msvc.tgz )

:-) 

The only problem now is that running the resulting binaries on a Windows
machine always leads to a segfault as soon as the SSL certificates become
available.
