automake cross compile on Linux

[Ken Perl]

Hi,

I created a very simple configure.ac with autoscan for the hello wold
program, and a very simple Makefile.am,

$cat Makefile.am
bin_PROGRAMS = hello
hello_SOURCES = hello.c

I may configure; make successfully on Linux, but when I tried to build
it for win32 crossly on Linux, I have trouble, see below steps,

./configure --build i686-pc-linux-gnu --host i586-mingw32msvc
make
i586-mingw32msvc-gcc  -g -O2   -o hello.exe hello.o
hello.o: In function `main':
/home/pgy/c/gtk/test/hello.c:4: undefined reference to `puts'
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-mingw32msvc/4.2.1-sjlj/../../../../i586-mingw32msvc/lib/libmingw32.a(main.o):(.text+0x85):
undefined reference to address@hidden'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [hello.exe] Error 1

$cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
        printf("Hello GNU build system\n");
        return 0;
}

could anybody tell what's missing or wrong?
