To find out if that's the case here, Assaf could run the configure
script again, with this patch applied:
--- configure 2014-10-02 22:49:51.808131800 +0200
+++ configure1 2014-10-02 23:05:37.288306300 +0200

. $srcdir/nt/mingw-cfg.site
case $srcdir in
...and tell us whether the script aborts at that "exit 1", and if so,
the value of $MSYSTEM.
