Indeed; this explains it.

Cross-compilation to native Windows was not really tested so far.

Yes, this is the required fix. I'll go through all ca. 280 cross-compilation
guesses that we have in m4/* and update them for native Windows...

As a workaround, in the mean time, please set the environment variables
  gl_cv_func_gettimeofday_clobber=no
  gl_cv_func_tzset_clobber=no
when running configure.
