Is that a general problem, or just with this branch? There shouldn't be
any windows-related changes there.

I just tested

  $ ~/hack/nettle-stable/configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc
  $ make check

and that works fine for me (EMULATOR=wine). I guess you're doing
something differently, maybe native compilation, or w*ndows-8 on arm, or
something?

If the currrent setup doesn't work, you need to change the setup of
LIBNETTLE_FILE (or invent some new variables if required) and set it all
up inside the

  case "$host_os"

in configure.ac. And then substitute those values at the right place in
Makefile.in. I don't remember exactly how it's supposed to work, but
maybe the _FORLINK variables are the ones you need.
