The solution to fix this binding problem with JEWL consists in
the replacement of

  pragma Linker_Options ("-luser32 -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -lwinmm");

with

  pragma Linker_Options ("-luser32");
  pragma Linker_Options ("-lgdi32");
  pragma Linker_Options ("-lcomdlg32");
  pragma Linker_Options ("-lwinmm");

in the file jewl-win32_interface.adb.

Alternatively, you may download a fixed version of JEWL from
my web page:
