Apparently by default the compiler sets this low.  It seems that the
makefiles will need to specify this.

Well some of these were missing files.  nmake -f makefile.msc clean
deletes too much, and perl and such is needed to continue.

Some of these are missing libs, which I assume is from problems with the
.symbols files being used to generate the .defs.  For example,
gobject-query.c fails to link because g_type_* symbols are missing.

So I guess these are just further instances of the symbols file
problems.
