It stops here:

i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign -g -O2 -DWIN32NATIVE  
-L/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/lib -static -o avrdude.exe avrdude-main.o 
avrdude-term.o ./libavrdude.a        -lm 
./libavrdude.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add 
one

Even though before, ranlib did run on the archive:

ar cru libavrdude.a libavrdude_a-config_gram.o libavrdude_a-lexer.o 
libavrdude_a-arduino.o libavrdude_a-avr.o libavrdude_a-avr910.o 
libavrdude_a-avrftdi.o libavrdude_a-avrftdi_tpi.o libavrdude_a-avrpart.o 
libavrdude_a-bitbang.o libavrdude_a-buspirate.o libavrdude_a-butterfly.o

libavrdude_a-update.o libavrdude_a-wiring.o 
ranlib libavrdude.a

For whatever reason, one has to explicitly run

i686-w64-mingw32-ranlib libavrdude.a

If someone has ideas, how to fix this in configure.ac, they are
certainly welcome.
