I believe that your assumption is correct!  On your solaris host, you 
are building a self-hosted ld, to target mingw32, so:

  $ configure --target=mingw32 --disable-nls

should be sufficient; it is not necessary to specify --build or --host 
for this case.

Do note however, (ignoring the difference between `mingw32' and 
`i686-pc-mingw32', which is not significant), that this is *not* the 
same as the command you originally cited, viz:

  $ configure --enable-targets=mingw32 --disable-nls

(`--enable-targets' does *not* have the same effect as `--target', and 
it would have been the `--target' which had the desired effect).
