-Wl passes the param to the linker (ld) that in this case is same of my
environment, more likely the bash doesn't correctly expand the var,
but really I dunno how it should be expanded.
Anyway I don't see the reason to use it on each test_cc in configure,
if you are curious you can look at config.err output for each configure
check

I don't build often mingw ffmpeg, I use it withing mplayer so
configure scripts are differents, but this problem sound very strange to
me.
