Hello,

I cannot use that since I need an out-of-tree-build. Looking at how
./configure is invoked by the abovementioned command

--enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/home/ametzler/w32root --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu SYSROOT=/home/ametzler/w32root PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/home/ametzler/w32root/lib/pkgconfig

I will test with simpler ./configure flags (host/build/prefix), letting
upstream choose optimization and assembly enablement.
