Summary:                    Change default link order for mingw
Description: 
Due to kernel32 exporting many of the same functions as advapi32 in Win 7 but
not in prior Windows versions, executables that link to those functions in
kernel32 cause entry point errors on older Windows releases.

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45452
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=revision&revision=163738

In gcc trunk, the default library setting is:
t-mingw32:SHLIB_LC = -lmingwthrd -lmingw32 -lmingwex -lmoldname -lmsvcrt
-ladvapi32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lkernel32
t-mingw-w32:SHLIB_LC = -lmingwthrd -lmingw32 -lmingwex -lmoldname -lmsvcrt
-ladvapi32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lkernel32
t-mingw-w64:SHLIB_LC = -lmingwthrd -lmingw32 -lmingwex -lmoldname -lmsvcrt
-ladvapi32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lkernel32

In share\cmake-2.8\Modules\Platform\Windows-GNU.cmake, the default library
setting is:

set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LIBRARIES_INIT "-lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool
-lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32")

I suggest use empty list:
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LIBRARIES_INIT "")

Or for compatibility:
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LIBRARIES_INIT "-luuid -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -lwinspool
-lole32 -loleaut32")

Or full list with compatibility:
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LIBRARIES_INIT "-lmingwthrd -lmingw32 -lmingwex -lmoldname
-lmsvcrt -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lkernel32 -luuid -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32
-lwinspool -lole32 -loleaut32")




Steps to Reproduce: 
See description.
