If you search for "checking size of long“ in the config.log file you will see 
the code that failed to compile. You should extract this code and try to 
compile it yourself to see the actual error. That way we may be able to find 
out what went wrong.

The simplest solution you could try is to recreate the configure script with a 
newer version of autoconfig. Version 2.65 has been used here. You could do this 
on another machine and just transfer the generated configure file to the MinGW 
environment.
