Ah-ah, I think I've found the "real" problem here.  Currently (i.e., in maint),
the code in `tests/defs' doesn't set nor export the values of $host_alias and/or
$build_alias determined at configure time; so your environment setup above above
isn't enough to trigger a true cross-compilation run of the testsuite; you
need at least this additional setting:

  host_alias=i586-pc-mingw32; export host_alias

and probably, to be sure to avoid spurious failures, also this one:

  build_alias=`./lib/config.guess`; export build_alias

This testsuite weakness will be fixed in the next major version of Automake.

Thanks, and sorry for the confusion,
  Stefano
