Sorry for some stupid questions, but these are my first steps in cross
compilation at all.

How do I set up a config.cache with a correct result?

You mean calling "configure -C"?

That was really the first thing I tried, but it didn't work.

When running "autogen.sh --build-w32" without having run "autogen.sh" before, I
get a bunch of error messages about missing configure and config.* files etc.
As it seems, "autogen.sh --build-w32" already tries to run the configure
itself.

If I don't add the --with-gpgsm=... option, I get an error message like
"Could not find gpgsm".
