 Greetings,

 I tried to cross compile a cross compiler ghc on Debian jessie Linux/GNU
 i386.
 I configured with "./configure --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32" (log
 attached).
 The configure script runs and then wants to use the native gcc
 (/usr/bin/gcc) instead of the mingw one
 (/usr/bin//usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc).
 Thus the mingw headers (in /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/) aren't found,
 which leads to errors during compiling (relevant part attached).

 Regards
 Sven
