I'm using libgcrypt 1.2.2, which seem to work fine under Windows when
build with LDFLAGS=-no-undefined.

I tried building 1.3-cvs now, and I got the same problem you did.  The
problems seem to be due to src/ath.h.  How about reverting it to
what's in 1.2.2, which seems to work?  Maybe other things are fixed in
1.2.2 that is broken in 1.3-cvs too.

Thanks!

However, is it a good idea to use #ifdef HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H checks in an
installed header file?  Not all programs include a config.h that have
those define.  How about this?
