New description:

 If there are tools already installed under the $PREFIX path building a
 "host == build" compiler fails because the binaries under $PREFIX are
 MinGW tools which run and are executables how-ever they are not cygwin
 executables and the "host == build" compiler sees them in configure how-
 ever fails to detect the default suffix.

 The RSB cannot delete the installed tools because other tools may be
 installed.

 There must be a path being added somewhere. Until that is found the work
 around is to manually make sure no binutils tools are under the $PREFIX.

Comment:

 MinGW tools building on Unix hosts has been fixed.
