There it is:

Now the question is which of these libs can be removed and which needs to stay?
I believe the real underlying cause is that /lib/w32api/libntdll.a contains a atoi function header (I see that in http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/w32api/lib/ntdll.def?cvsroot=src together with a zillion other WinNT/2K/XP functions). This is wrong because Win9x have only a very limited set of functions in ntdll.dll.
Yes, I thought it is a w32api bug at first too. Who is the maintainer of w32api?
Or, if you prefer, indiscriminate linking to ntdll.dll in all Windows versions is the actual culprit.
