Hi,

With 17862:b1ea8c11ae1e, I get:

$ ./configure '--host=i586-mingw32msvc' '--disable-shared' 'host_alias=i586-mingw32msvc'
[...]
checking format of `double' floating point... od: conftest: No such file or directory
od: conftest: No such file or directory
unknown 
configure: WARNING: Could not determine float format.
configure: WARNING: Conversions to and from "double" may be slow.
[...]

One needs to change "conftest" to "conftest$EXEEXT".
Patch attached.
