It would fail on 32-bit MinGW too.

No, it's not, check the implib yourself.  You have to use a proper 
declaration to link stdcall functions, and the autoconf tests don't do 
that.  You need to change the test to avoid this; exactly how depends on 
the intent of the test.

Big difference.

Maybe, maybe not.  Mixing *NIX and Win32 APIs isn't so simple.
