Cross-compilation fails with
make[5]: *** No rule to make target 'himktables.exe', needed by
'hitables.c'.  Stop.
make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

but I am not sure that the native compilation (I  mean using autotools
under Windows whatever is the name of the toolchain (from MSYS2, or ...) )
fails too.
I think that at the moment this specific cross-compilation makes sense for
WSL , a quite limited scenario (just to say, I am still not able to make a
32bit exe).
