windows.h: No such file or directory

[John Taylor]

Hello,

I'm trying to build coreutils-7.4 with a cross-compilator (gcc-4.4.1)
that runs on i686-unknown-linux-gnu and produces code for
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. When building coreutils, I get the following
error message:

I found that I can fix this problem by adding
gl_cv_func_rename_trailing_slash_bug=no to the configure arguments
list. Is this the normal and recommended way to proceed? Are we in
front of a bug, instead?

Thanks.
