I have been facing a problem on Windows/MinGW with autoconf. The

The reason is that config.log cannot be truncated by configure because
config.status already opened it (and Windows forbids truncating an open
file). Here is the fix (tested on Windows/MinGW).
Thanks for the report and the patch. It is remarkable that this has never come
up before. You use the MinGW compilers; do you use the MSYS shell and tools to
run `configure', or something else? What version?
