[Mingw-cross-env-list] MXE & SDL 2 hg

[N. N.]

Trying to build SDL 2 hg (2.0.3 has bugs that were fixed, but I don't want to 
add certain patches to 2.0.3, I rather have all of them), so, anyway, the 
patches that were for SDL2 for the 2.0.3 version don't all apply anymore.
Is there a reason why some of those patches are not submitted upstream, so they 
can fix their build system?

Right now, I am trying (from the SDL/BUILD directory)

.././configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32.static --enable-static 
PKG_CONFIG=i686-w64-mingw32.static-pkg-config
and it can't find anything it.
Yes, my export PATH statement is correct, I can build anything else I need, 
just not SDL 2 hg.

configure:2937: result: gcc

It seems I only need these, sdl2-1-dinput.patch & sdl2-2-libtool.patch, but it 
still don't work.

Can anyone offer some advice on how to fix this?
