Cross-compile for Windows fails on the first step

Hi, ALL,
This is my first post here, so please forgive me if it does not belong in
this particular list.

I'm trying to compile VLC on Windows (7 64-bit Ultimate) following
instructions here:
http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYS

However, I'm getting following error:

[code]
alex@jupiter ~/vlc/extras/tools
$ make
(cd autoconf; ./configure --prefix=/home/alex/vlc/extras/tools/build &&
make && make install)

acceptable m4 could be found in $PATH.
GNU M4 1.4.6 or later is required; 1.4.16 or newer is recommended.
GNU M4 1.4.15 uses a buggy replacement strstr on some systems.
Glibc 2.9 - 2.12 and GNU M4 1.4.11 - 1.4.15 have another strstr bug.
make: *** [.autoconf] Error 1
[/code]

How can I fix it?

Thank you.
