But it doesn't hurt to make sure, so I think Martin's question is not
misguided.  Note that the configure script did find ginstall, so it's
not like it cannot find any executable program.

A better way would be

  CC=gcc.exe AWK=gawk.exe ./configure

because the .exe variants are actual files, and "test -f" will succeed
with them.

AFAIR, the file config.site that comes with the DJGPP ports of Bash
already includes some magic to work around these problems, so the
above should not be necessary, unless one runs a very old configure
script that doesn't automatically load config.site.
