No, I'm using MinGW Makefiles generator. Now I've tried alse MSYS
Makefiles generator and linking works correctly with both 2.4.3 and
CVS version.

What's the difference between MinGW and MSYS generators? Only
difference I'm aware of is that MSYS generator uses sh.exe for running
make commands. Are there any pros and cons?

What generator should I prefer for building?

That error with MinGW makefiles is simply a limitation or could be fixed?

Actually CMakeSetup from CVS crashes for me even with so trivial
CMakeLists.txt like:

PROJECT (hello)
MESSAGE (STATUS "hello world")

CMakeSetup 2.4.3 configures this without problems.
