It seems to me that Pete is using very recent version of MinGW
installations and it took me quite sometime to be able to build
under MinGW. I will think you have an old version of MinGW,
libtool and auto-tools (autoconf, automake, etc).

I think I still have one issue with MinGW which I have never
been able to solved. But you can try.

Go to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
Upgrade to the latest version of MinGW using the
automated installer 5.1.6 (base and Win32API, etc).
Download all the MinGW version of the auto-tools
(not the MSys version) and then try again. You
also need MSys.

My other solution is to use Linux MinGW cross compiling
and it works fine.
