OK, got it working nicely:

case $host_os in mingw*)
AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS([check_win32_symlinks],[
# Links sometimes fail undetected on Mingw -
# so here we detect it and warn the user
for FILE in "$CONFIG_LINKS"
do
# test -e works for symlinks in the MinGW console
test -e `expr "$FILE" : '\(^:*\)'` || AC_MSG_WARN([*** link for
$FILE - please fix by hand])
done
])
;;
esac

Applied.
