Thanks, I didn't know that. Unfortunately, the outcome is identical:
\,,,/

------oOOo-(_)-oOOo------
cd /usr/src
cp -r mutt-1.5.20-1/ mutt-1.5.20-1.milu # copy mutt source package
cd mutt-1.5.20-1.milu
touch install-sh # else you'll get an error
touch config.sub # ditto
./configure --build=i686-pc-cygwin --prefix=/usr/local/mutt \
--enable-imap --enable-smtp --enable-hcache --with-regex --with-ssl
# configure output snipped
