bug#19111: 25.0.50; 32 bits temacs.exe is linked with wrong image-base when built on 64 bit Windows host

[Dani Moncayo]

Another detail that I think is wrong in the MinGW-specific block of
code is this: if a --host parameter was given to 'configure', there is
no need to update anything there.

So, here is the last version of my proposed patch:
