I did a Windows 'Search' of the MinGW '.a' files for the strings 
'_cputs' and '_cscanf'. Both searches turned up the following 7 files:
libcrtdll.a, libmsvcr70.a, libmsvcr70d.a, libmsvcr71.a, libmsvcr71d.a, 
libmsvcrt.a, and libmsvcrtd.a.

I don't know just which of those you link to ... or if it matters ... or 
if it's even definite that it has to be one of those files.
I'd opt for -lmsvcrt but there's no guarantee that's correct :-)

Try a MinGW-specific list if you don't get a satisfactory answer here.

Hth.
