The full linker command shows (I split the flags for a better reading):

g++ -o build/target.exe -mconsole -enable-stdcall-fixup -mthread 
examples/other/target.o

I have tested the same call with another example (only the *.cpp / *.o 
file changes) and it works. The difference is the cpp code, but
a compiler call run's without an error. I don't understand why 
different sources with the same linker command creates different 
results.
The linking process should be deterministic, so the compiled object 
code creates the same linker calls.

Thanks

Phil
