Cross compilation issues with MinGW

[Luis Lavena <luislavena at gmail dot com>]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile latest libffi from Git [1] in OSX 10.5 targeting
i386-mingw32 (mingw port package).

The command I've used is the following:

mkdir -p builds/mingw32 && cd builds/mingw32
../../configure --enable-static --with-pic --build=i386-mingw32

The problem is that the generated libtool file contains this:

fix_srcfile_path="\`cygpath -w \"\$srcfile\"\`"

And this generates the following error during make:

make
make "AR_FLAGS=" "CC_FOR_BUILD=" "CFLAGS=-g -O2" "CXXFLAGS="
"CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD=" "CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=" "INSTALL=/usr/bin/install -c"

Under MinGW there is no cygpath (not even with MSYS installed) and
even less chance there is cygpath when cross compiling.

I'm doing this wrong? What shall be using to properly cross compile libffi?

Thank you.
