The "-B/mingw/mingw32/bin/" there implies that gcc expects to find its
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX at $prefix/$target which is the default in the absense
of a sysroot.  If you're using Cygwin as a build environment then you
can fix this simply by creating the dir $prefix/$target/ which contains
3 symlinks for bin, include, and lib each pointing to ../bin,
../include, and ../lib resp.  You also might be able to solve this by
configuring --with-sysroot=/mingw but a sysroot for a native compiler
bootstrap strikes me as a fundamentally broken idea.
