 rather than rely on the -l form I added the explict load of the
 library.

 in library libwsock32.a I extracted the symbols, and found this

ds62.o:
00000000 b .bss
00000000 d .data
00000000 ? .idata$4
00000000 ? .idata$5
00000000 ? .idata$6
00000000 ? .idata$7
00000000 t .text
00000000 ? ___imp_rexec@24
         U __head_libwsock32_a
00000000 T _rexec@24

   from this I conclude that somehow the function call 'rexec' 
 does _not_ get statisfied to the ident _rexec@24_.

 so how is gnuwin32 differenet from the orthodox Gnu C compiler?

  oh yes, the code was copied from the GNU C for Unix and linked
 without explict libraries.

  Under GNU C, rexec and recv are included in the libc.a..
