It looks like you're not running ./configure with the correct options.

Look at src/win32/build.sh to see how you need to configure.
Specifically, you must point --with-pcre, --with-libxml2, --with-zlib
each to the location where you have installed native Win32 versions of
those programs.  You'd need to configure something like this:

HA=i586-mingw32msvc
BA=i686-linux
/configure --prefix=${PWD}/../prefix \
        --cache-file=config.cross.cache \
        --disable-docs \
        --host=${HA} \
        --target=${HA} \
        --build=${BA} \
        --with-libxml2=$PWD/../libxml2 \
        --with-zlib=$PWD/../zlib \
        --with-pcre=$PWD/../pcre \
        --enable-shared

Those directories would look something like this:
$ ls -1 ../pcre/ ../zlib ../libxml2
./libxml2:
bin
include
lib
readme.txt
util

./pcre/:
bin
include
lib
man

./zlib:
bin
include
lib
