Alvaro -- thank you for your reply!

So to clarify (in the hopes that it would allow me to keep some hair on
my head by the end of this process, as I already pulled out most of it
by now)...
your process was as follows?

build-dir$ ~/source-dir/configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
...
build-dir$ make
...
errors
build-dir$ make distclean
...
build-dir$ ~/source-dir/configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
...
build-dir$ make
...

?

Or did you not do a VPATH build the second time?

Did you use any other options?
