I am not building a cross binutils. It is a native binutils. I don't
think the cross rules apply here. The main reason for
--enable-targets=all is the sanity check. I don't think I should be
required to install the w32api headers to run "make check". Why not
include the files needed in your windres test?

Have you tried that?
