This smells like crosscompiling. 

The cygwin gcc can compile for mingw too if i add the switch -mno-cygwin to
the gcc commandline. So I've created the directory /usr/i686-pc-mingw/bin and
put wrapper scripts for gcc, cc, g++ and the binutils there and compiled Xorg
with make World CROSSCOMPILEDIR=/usr/i686-pc-mingw/bin

The crosscompile environment should settle everything else. 

BTW: I've also added UseInstalledOnCrossCompile YES to host.def
