Bad idea here. Try the headers of the system your building for, not that
of the system the compiler is running on. 

Personally I had sufficient trouble with the --prefix argument to
configure. I was always better of letting the compiler do what it deems
necessary (i.e. no "--prefix=<dir>" argument), usually it will then
automatically create /usr/local/win... directory automatically and place
some symbolic links in /usr/local/bin which should not interfere with
the rest of your system.
	ls -ltr /usr/local/bin
shows you, which names the toools have here.

Regards,
	Stefan.
