I had a similar error trying to run a configure script under cygwin.  I 
solved it the brute force way -- deleting the couple of lines in the 
script that caused the error.

I noticed on the mingw mailing list that a similar error was reported 
when using MSYS (which is based on cygwin) to run configure scripts. 
You might want to check there.

Sorry I don't have more to add.  At the time I thought the error was 
specific to the program I was compiling and did not pay much attention 
to it.  However, it may be more generic.

Rob
