Yes, because you cross compile.  If you want it to work with cross
compilation, you need to provide the correct result for that test in a
config.cache (and use -C with configure).  That's really basic knowledge you
should have when cross compiling anything for any platform.

Both are wrong, even if we ignore that the path you specify for gpgsm is
just bogus.  If you ask it to compile in gpgsm support then of course it
tries to do so.  So do what the documentation says and run "autogen.sh
--build-w32" and then configure without any --with-gpgsm option.

If you still see problems after doing things correctly, let me know.

Thanks,
