Hmm, did you build that i586-mingw32msvc-gcc yourself?  How was it
configured?

This doesn't look like an autotools bug to me.  If you take your hello.c
and just run
  i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -o hello.exe hello.c

without involving make, autoconf, nor automake, it seems it would still
fail; we need to find out why.

Cheers,
Ralf
