Details:

Running the uname command in the cross build mxe-ocave version (in windows):

>> uname

ans =

  scalar structure containing the fields:
    sysname = unknown
    nodename = unknown
    release = unknown
    version = unknown
    machine = unknown

Looking at the config.log, it does not find a valid uname function.

If we enable uname in the gnulib modules:

>> uname

ans =

  scalar structure containing the fields:
    sysname = MINGW32_NT-6.1
    nodename = JDONOGHUE-PC
    release = Windows 7
    version = Service Pack 1
    machine = i686


Patch attached.
