I see code to disable building fixincl if build != host (unless
--with-sysroot is specified).  But I don't see any code to disable
building fixincl if build == host and host != target.  So it seems to
me that building a cross-compiler from mingw32 to something else, and
doing the build on mingw32, will cause this problem.

To me it seems reasonable to build fixincl whenever we have header
files to fix.  And that does include the case of host != target.
There have been times when I've needed it, such as when building for
the VxWorks target--I put a bunch of VxWorks fixes into fixincludes
back when I maintained it.
