Since you had POSIX paths with a distinct Cygwin touch, I guess we can
stop blaming Libtool. You are apparently cross-compiling from Cygwin to
MinGW and should drop your --build argument and thus let config.guess
do its thing. I.e. stop lying to configure.

Or build with MSYS where the above --build and --host are true.

I guess the bootstrap script also needs some love if you have read it
right. I haven't read it at all.
