Here is the "trully vanilla" results. No additional library paths are involved (not even /mingw32/lib). To get the mingw32/lib in in a clean fashion I suggest the following lines in the if(MINGW) ... endif():
# We need the path to the MinGW/Borland compiler in order to find
# the import libraries for system libraries.
if(MINGW)
unset(MINGWPATH)
get_filename_component(MINGWBINPATH ${CMAKE_C_COMPILER} PATH)
message(STATUS " MINGWBINPATH = ${MINGWBINPATH}")
find_path( MINGWPATH lib
PATHS ${MINGWBINPATH}/../
NO_DEFAULT_PATH)
set(MINGWLIBPATH ${MINGWPATH}/lib
CACHE FILEPATH
DOCSTRING "Path to MinGW import libraries")
list( APPEND CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH ${MINGWPATH}/lib)
list( APPEND CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH
${CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH};${MINGWPATH}/include)
list(REMOVE_DUPLICATES CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH)
list(REMOVE_DUPLICATES CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH)
endif(MINGW)
