Thanks for the report.  I ran into this recently too, but hadn't had a
chance to commit a fix yet.  A bunch of AC_TRY_RUNs were converted to
AC_TRY_COMPILEs as part of a general configure.ac cleanup a while back.
That broke a couple of tests under Windows, and when I fixed those tests I
inadvertantly left out the '#ifdef WIN32' bits in the fixed version.

I've committed a fix in f7c4c06035dabfef477c0dce2a5b4e7e33629f90 to
mainline.

Cheers,
