Something still isn't correct in your build tooling for windows as I get the fol… lowing failure when building on a win8.1 64bit with mri 2.1.5 32bit using a 32bit mingw-w64 4.9.2 compiler.
I know zlib easily builds on windows using the mingw-w64 toolchains because I do it all the time with [helpers like this](https://github.com/jonforums/buildlets/blob/master/build_zlib.ps1).
From the last part of mkmf.log below (e.g. - missing `-o conftest.exe`, no lib info to gcc) I think you guys are sooooo close I can taste it :)

My recommendation would be to not work on Windows. I know that may
