Should heap profiling with mingw work?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm trying to cross-build gperftools heap profiler support for 32-bit Windows, 
from a Linux machine (Debian Jessie amd64).

gperftools configures and builds fine, but the only DLL built is 
tcmalloc_minimal.dll.

Is that right? The README and INSTALL files suggest that the heap profiler 
should work (at least in debug mode) with Windows and mingw, or is that only 
when compiling with Visual Studio?

configure line was:

./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32

and to be extra sure:

./configure --enable-shared --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --enable-heap-profiler

Tried under current git HEAD, and the 2.4 release. config.log output from 2.4 
is attached.

Thanks in advance for any pointers you can give me.

Mingw and Visual Studio are not supported currently for anything but 
tcmalloc_minimal.

Thanks for clarifying this. I've attached a patch for the INSTALL and 
README_windows.txt files that make this clearer for new readers.

(Patch assumes Cygwin support is the same situation as Mingw/Visual Studio. Let 
me know if I should change that.)
