It's strange that you get a pass, if you have mingw.

Note that the test is a bit weird in that it passes instead
of skips on $host_os != mingw*, so are you sure you even get
into the inner configure with your setup? Because if you do,
your compiler must accept -no-undefined and that seems
unlikely to me.

Anyway, in my non-cross, non-emulated setup, the test skips on
line 79:

LT_AT_CONFIGURE([|| exit 77], ["$abs_top_srcdir"/configure])

where configure bombs out with the compiler not being able to
create executables (due to gcc not understanding -no-undefined).

So, the patch upgrades this completely bogus skip to a pass on
real MinGW.

Cheers,
Peter
