[PATCH] Crosscompiling configure fix


I've submitted a fix for a problem I came across while trying to build a Linux-hosted Cygwin cross compiler. While bootstrapping Cygwin the autoconf scripts in winsup/cygwin and winsup/cygserver fail because the bootstrap compiler is missing some of the files needed to link a Cygwin executable. Because the source for some of the needed files is in the winsup directory, this creates a curricular dependency. The attached patch lets autoconf complete successfully by not running the tests that require linking if Cygwin is being crosscompiled.

Thanks,

Peter Foley
