configure:8379: checking pwd.h usability
configure:8391: /home/stevko/Developer/mingw/bin/i586-mingw32-gcc -c -g
                -O2  -I/System/Library/Headers conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:68:17: pwd.h: No such file or directory

so mingw might not have getpwnam, but the code in NSPathUtilities.m reads:

#ifdef  HAVE_PWD_H
#include <pwd.h>                // for getpwnam()
#endif

[...]

#if !defined(__MINGW__)
  struct passwd *pw;

  [gnustep_global_lock lock];
  pw = getpwnam ([loginName cString]);
  if (pw != 0  && pw->pw_dir != NULL)
    {
      s = [NSString stringWithCString: pw->pw_dir];
    }
  [gnustep_global_lock unlock];
#else
  s = Win32GetUserProfileDirectory(loginName);
#endif

so it should not try to compile the part calling getpwnam. Is __MINGW__ 
defined under your crosscompiling environment? Maybe the line

#if !defined(__MINGW__)

could be changed to

#ifdef  HAVE_PWD_H

not quite correct, but might work. Maybe others have a better idea.
