Wouldn't wrappers like Cygwin uses work? Of course the wrapper requires
you to have every possible version
variables to the binaries. IIRC, The 64bit version of
Cygwin has a cross build for the 32bit version[1] so the --host would be
i686-pc-cygwin and config.guess can figure out the --build or you can
specify it as x86_64-pc-cygwin.

With --host alone autoconf should assume it is a cross compile without
doing any further testing even if the guessed BUILD environment is
identical to the specified --h
e and the inodes will not be released
until the processes with open channels to it have closed. Often a
reboot is the only way to relieve that issue. On Windows, you cannot
delete an opened file, if you try you will get an error from the system.
