I don't know the best way to solve your principal problem, but a 
better way to check for this is to use AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, as in this 
macro used in several MinGW packages:

# MINGW_AC_WIN32_NATIVE_HOST
# --------------------------
# Check if the runtime platform is a native Win32 host.
#
AC_DEFUN([MINGW_AC_WIN32_NATIVE_HOST],
[AC_CACHE_CHECK([whether we are building for a Win32 host],
 [mingw_cv_win32_host],
 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE([[
#ifdef _WIN32
 choke me
#endif]], [mingw_cv_win32_host=no], [mingw_cv_win32_host=yes]))dnl
])# MINGW_AC_WIN32_NATIVE_HOST
