I don't really see why it's failing here.

Would you have another version of the gcc compiler installed somewhere on 
your computer ? Maybe you also installed cygwin ? What I'm thinking is that 
maybe the gcc which is detected by the configure script isn't the mingw one.

Try to make sure that your PATH environnement variable is set up correctly. 
You can also try to run "gcc -v" to check it actually is the right one.

One last thing, make sure you run "make disctlean" or remove the 
config.cache file from your vlc tree as ./configure might use out of date 
informations.

Hope this helps.
