The situation is that mingw linker docs say this option should be accepted. 
I've just tried the recent mingw version:

binutils-2.15.90-20040222-1.tar.gz
mingw-runtime-3.3.tar.gz
gcc-core-3.4.0-20040501-1.tar.gz
gcc-g++-3.4.0-20040501-1.tar.gz

I don't get this problem. Maybe, you could upgrade too?
