Failure during econf, difficult to find a fix for since this is apparently
a gentoo specific thing, so third party fixes like the one I found for
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611172

checking whether it is possible to resort to fread on /etc/mnttab... no
configure: error: could not determine how to read list of mounted file systems

these sort of reports really should be sent upstream.  you're talking about porting a package to a new OS.  in this case, the error is coming from gnulib because findutils uses AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT.

For reference: do not use the winnt prefix profile. Copy the embedded profile into place as mentioned on the mingw wiki and edit it, assuming all you're after
is a straight up mingw-w64 toolchain.
