You need to listen to the things that are said to you more. Someone ele 
already asked you not to post long config.log files in the body of your 
emails. All you needed to paste was these lines:

Why are you cross-compiling? I built without any need to do that. Change 
the names of the binaries on the m mingw64/bin directory to remove the 
platform prefix, put that directory at the head of your PATH, and run a 
plain configure. Works like a charm.

You should probably wait a little while (i.e a week or so) for me to 
work out the wrinkles in this. Then I will publish some instructions on 
the wiki.
