[Mingw-cross-env-list] gnutls failing to build

Hi,

I recently learned about MXE and was investigating it to replace the hodgepodge of tools I use to build GPSBabel. It looks really promising. My goal is to be able to cross-compile code that uses Qt, though I've used Mingw for cross builds for years. Unfortunately, I ran into a problem I couldn't find in the mailing lists.

I'm hosting on a Mountain Lion system. I installed MacPorts and all the required packages via your directions.GCC and Binutils and all their little helpers all build and work just fine. But a dependency for Qt jumps the rails.

$ make qt

[build] gnutls

Failed to build package gnutls!

You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro instead.

/opt/local/share/aclocal-1.13/obsolete-err.m4:12: AM_CONFIG_HEADER is expanded from...

configure.ac:30: the top level

autom4te: /opt/local/bin/gm4 failed with exit status: 1

aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1

make[1]: *** [build-only-gnutls] Error 1

.git/HEAD shows I'm on stable, not dev, so I shouldn't have landed in a risky place.

The logfile shows:
