globals.h does not exist. AFAIK it is a generated file, but on this
build it is not generated.

The configure invocation is

  configure \
    --prefix=/clang64 \
    --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 \
    --with-modules \
    --without-dbus \
    --without-compress-install

Speaking of configure, it does not even try to locate several libraries.
The string "jpeg", for instance, only appears in config.log as

LIBJPEG=''
