Oh, maybe I'll have to add proper handling of Macintosh file endings to
tinc then...

The error message you got is unfortunately very unhelpful whether in
English or Dutch.

Personally, I cross-compile tinc using MinGW on Linux. There is a
description of how you can do that yourself here:

http://tinc-vpn.org/examples/cross-compiling-windows-binary/

It should be possible to build it using MinGW on Windows itself in a
similar way, but without using the --host option or the "mingw" script
from the cross-compilation example of course.
