Hmm.  If you have a nose around in the configure script it tries a
makefile like

        all:
                @echo 'ac_maketemp="${MAKE}"'

Does it work?  Which "make" is this?  Do you perhaps need to set a
SHELL environment variable or something?

A cross compile from GNU/Linux to Mingw should work.  On a Debian
system there's mingw32 and mingw32-runtime packages to make life easy.
