Try with the development branch of the autotools. They work much better 
with c++ DLLs

export PATH=/usr/autotool/devel/bin:$PATH

then

Say a prayer !
libtoolize --force
aclocal (with the appropriate -I flags to the share/aclocal directories if 
necessary)
automake -a
autoconf

then

configure --disable-static

If it fails, restart with a fresh libgnomecanvasmm tarball and compile the 
library statically (configure --disable-shared).

Welcome to the wondeful world of the autotools on win32 !!!
