This file is created by the program pointed to by the RC variable in
the file gettext-runtime/intl/config.status.

What is the value of this variable in your build? If it is windres or
x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres, that's not what you want.

What are the names of the *-windres programs in your environment?
If you have, say, aarch64-w64-mingw32-windres, you need to pass the
option --host=aarch64-w64-mingw32 to the configure script; then the
autoconfiguration will find the right *-windres program.
