Thanks a lot!
With 
../configure i686-pc-mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local --build=i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1 
it works!

However I hat to change the declaration in libiberty/strerror.c 
from
	static const char **sys_errlist;
to
	char **sys_errlist;

to avoid a type confict with i686-pc-mingw32/include/errno.h      

Maybe  NEED_sys_errlist should not be defined?
