Hi, now I am getting a new error.
To summarise I installed :
mingw : version 4.9.3 Architecture : x86_64 Threads : Win32 Exception : seh Build revision : 0
and put in path, so I get :
$ g++ --version g++.exe (x86_64-win32-seh-rev0, Built by MinGW-W64 project) 4.9.3
Then configured via :
./configure --host=i686-w32-mingw32 --bindir=... --mandir=... --libdir=... CPPFLAGS=-I/mingw64/include
After creating "libffi/doc/libffi.info", I do "make" again, at which point I get the following error message :
libtool: compile: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I./include -Iinclude -I./src -I/mingw64/include -I. -I./include -Iinclude -I./src -MT src/x86/win32.lo -MD -MP -MF src/x86/.deps/win32.Tpo -c src/x86/win32.S -DDLL_EXPORT -DPIC -o src/x86/.libs/win32.o src/x86/win32.S: Assembler messages: src/x86/win32.S:486: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push' src/x86/win32.S:497: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push' src/x86/win32.S:498: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push' src/x86/win32.S:643: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `pop' src/x86/win32.S:652: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push' src/x86/win32.S:669: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push' src/x86/win32.S:768: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `pop' src/x86/win32.S:780: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `pop' src/x86/win32.S:797: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push' src/x86/win32.S:799: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push' src/x86/win32.S:814: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push' src/x86/win32.S:818: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push' src/x86/win32.S:918: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `pop' src/x86/win32.S:919: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `pop' src/x86/win32.S:934: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push' src/x86/win32.S:1032: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `pop' Makefile:1221: recipe for target 'src/x86/win32.lo' failed make[4]: *** [src/x86/win32.lo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/monolith/polyml/libffi' Makefile:1473: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

You need to install the texinfo package, e.g. like this:
pacman -S texinfo
libffi/doc/libffi.info used to be in the repository so there was no need to build it. I committed a change on 23rd June that removed it since it appeared to be an output, at least when built on Linux. To be honest there doesn't seem to be any reason to include the documentation in the version of libffi that we include with Poly/ML. It does seem to be overkill to have to install texinfo. I hadn't noticed the problem because I seem to have texinfo somewhere else. It may be simplest just to restore libffi.info.
