Don't see anything wrong here, but then I always build Make by using
the supplied build_w32.bat batch file and config.h.W32, not by running
the configure script.

Also, what is the version of MinGW headers and libraries you have
installed?  I use the latest official releases: 3.14 for MinGW
runtime, 3.11 for w32api.  (I also used the older version 3.7 before
that, and the binary worked with it as well.)
