I'm trying to build GStreamer under Windows XP using MinGW. The build process
works for the most part but stops with many undefined references while linking,
such as

undefined reference to `_imp__GST_CAT_GST_INIT'

These values are part of the debug subsystem of GStreamer, and are defined in
gst_private.h and gstinfo.h. There are existing preprocessor checks that enable
"__declspec(dllimport)" unconditionally for every build under Win32, but they
don't seem to be necessary with MinGW.

The attached patch disables that #define when building with MinGW, and fixes
the build. It has also been tested under Linux and doesn't show regressions.
