If I deselect BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, the build proceeds almost to completion, but 
fails at this point:

I'm keen to hear of other people's experiences in building ITK 3.20.0 with 
MinGW64-4.5.  Apart from BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, the only other change I made to the 
default cmake configuration was to turn off CMAKE_USE_PTHREADS.
