Has anyone successfully built findutils-4.1?  I've been trying to get it
compiled on beta 16, but it doesn't want to cooperate.  Here's my probs:

1) It always thinks that I'm cross-compiling.  This is obviously not true.  All
   I can conclude is that return values from programs are not correctly getting
   passed back to the shell (aka test).  I hard-coded configure
   to cross-compile=no.
2) Even though it went through configure, a makefile didn't get generated!

Are there any special tricks to getting stuff with configure scripts to
compile on GNU-WIN32?

P.S. The mailing list archive on the web site still seems to be out of date
     so I cannot look up whether this question has already been addressed.

Thanks.
