I can confirm that using MXE too <http://mxe.cc/> avrdude builds after
correcting Makefile's wrong "AR = :" with "AR = i686-pc-mingw32-ar".

My next problem is replacing the need for an external libusb0.dll with
MXE's provided (static) libusb.a. 
Currently configure is missing a --disable-shared option.

Indeed, an autotools expert is needed :-)

Thanks Enoch.
