There *may* be another possibility it's because of using --prefix on a 
different partition. I don't put MinGW on C:, anymore than I would put 
games or other things on C:. I use the prefix I can simply do 'make 
install' to put it where I want it and strip it automatically. 
Otherwise, it shouldn't matter where I have MinGW, right?

But it still doesn't seem to matter if the path or even the drive in the 
prefix exists on my other machines/virtual machines or whether or not 
the conf files are present at all.
