mingw/cpd problem

Hi --

    With mingw/cpd, I've successfully compiled a 'libgcrypt.a'.  My
next step is to create a 'libgcrypt.dll', but the instructions on
how to do so in mingw/cpd's README file are quite vague.  The best
I've been able to do results in creating an EXE file instead of a 
DLL (!):

    mingw32 gcc -c -dll test.c
    mingw32 gcc -Wl,--base-file=a.base test.o
    mingw32 dlltool --as `mingw32 --get-path as` --base-file a.base \
        -e exports.o test.o
    mingw32 gcc test.o exports.o -o test.dll

    What am I doing wrong?

P.S. The 'WkLib' package fails to compile on Debian stable (3.0r2).
Bit-rot, I guess?
