You should really be asking the suppliers of mmv, but error 0xc0000005
("the application could not be initialized properly") is usually
indicative of the missing execute permission on some DLL.  Make sure you
"chmod a+x" all the DLLs that are produced by the build.
FWIW, "gcc -shared" marks DLLs as executable, so there must be some other
piece of code (e.g., "install -m 0644" in the Makefile) that changes the
permissions.
