OK.  Let's look at the last failure first.  Please go into
the directory tests/testsuite.dir/222 and issue this command:

  abs_top_srcdir=/dev/fs/F/Projekt/dev.sdk/interix/autoconf-2.59c \
    ./configure -C

At some point it should throw this:

> +Windows NT Exception (core dumped)

Try to find out when exactly this happens.  If you want to locate it
further, you can try this command

  abs_top_srcdir=/dev/fs/F/Projekt/dev.sdk/interix/autoconf-2.59c \
     /bin/sh -x ./configure -C

but then you should probably catch stdout and stderr together, by adding
    >mylog 2>&1

and look at the mylog file afterwards.  Post what you find, including
logs (you could pack large attachments with gzip).

Hmm.  The fact that this is output somewhat later is weird, too (either
a bug in stderr buffering, or another issue with a test that isn't
caught by the test suite).
