Success.

 My assumption,based on error messages I got, is that for
cross-compiling gettext 0.18.1.1 to MinGW, libtool 2.4 is needed, but
gettext 0.18.1.1 tarball has been bootstrapped with libtool 2.2.6 (as
seen in included ltmain.sh) I modified my build process accordingly,
and got it working. This of course is not  100% certain proof that my
original assumption is correct; it may be just coincidence that
problem got solved by modifications I did.

 Here is how build now works:

1. Apply patch from my previous mail
2. libtoolize (with libtool 2.4)
3. ./autogen.sh --quick --skip-gnulib
4. Set "gl_cv_func_memchr_works=yes" on configure command line

 If anybody is interested about details,  this is now part of
dllstack.sh script (
http://svn.cazfi.net/viewvc/crosser/trunk/dllstack.sh?view=markup ) of
crosser project ( http://www.cazfi.net/crosser/ )
