Hi,

You have to fix up the autotool (configure and friends) scripts that 
came with the program  to fix the problem. You can also use autoconf 
for[1] MSYS to do this.

Why isn't MSYS a recognized platform? Well, its not designed to function 
as such, you need to do much of the ground work yourself.

[1] Autoconf for MSYS is not exactly identical with upstream GNU 
autotools, its been patched to recognize MSYS.
