It's a simple test program; the configure script is making sure that the
compiler and linker that it will use to build binutils work OK. If you
want to see what the full error is then look in config.log.
You should install the development packages that came with cygwin and
use those to build your cross compiler. You're not likely to get TurboC
to work without a *lot* of effort.
