Comment (by rwbarton):

 OK, I read farther in configure and I see where `../install-sh` is coming
 from now. I can see how that ''could'' work but for some reason it doesn't
 actually appear to be working.

 How does your `libffi/build/i386-unknown-mingw32/include/Makefile` define
 `INSTALL`? (e.g. mine is `INSTALL = /usr/bin/install -c`.) It should be
 `../../install-sh -c`, but I expect it will actually be `../install-sh
 -c`.

 I would suggest as a workaround ensuring that you have an `install` on
 your path somewhere. Or someone familiar with Windows and autoconf should
 comment.
