windres will be built with --enable-targets=all. But your windres
test won't run under Linux since it uses the header files which
aren't available under Linuxx. You can verify that by configuring
binutils with

# ..../configure --enable-targets=all
# make
# make check

under Linux. Could you please look into it?

Thanks.
