Well, your logs show that configure succeeded, which means the
failure is _later_.  And that means my patch solved the problem.

Thank you.
The first interesting part is here:

    In file included from file-set.h:2,
                     from file-set.c:20:
    sys/stat.h:267:8: operator '!' has no right operand
    make.exe[3]: *** [file-set.o] Error 1

That suggests that HAVE_LSTAT is not expanded as expected in
lib/sys/stat.h.  The template, lib/sys_stat.in.h has this:

    #if ! @HAVE_LSTAT@
    # define lstat stat
    #endif

yet, the diagnostic above suggests your lib/sys/stat.h looks like this:

    #if !
    # define lstat stat
    #endif

Contrast that with your config.log file, which says

    #define HAVE_LSTAT 1

So, would you please post both your lib/sys/stat.h,
to confirm, and config.status, since it is the file
responsible for performing the substitution that may be failing.
