How did you you invoke configure?  You don't say, but I would guess 
that you gave the `--host=mingw32' but neglected to give a distinct 
`--build=...' spec, and you ignored this:

  configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type,
  don't use --host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode
    will be used.

If you want configure to explicitly recognise that you intend it to 
cross-compile, then you should run configure as, say:

  $ ../path/to/configure --build=i686-pc-linux --host=mingw32 ...
