This means it can't find /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/share/aclocal/libgcrypt.m4.
Aha: it's probably looking for the *native* one and failing.

But that said, we shouldn't actually have to run autoreconf (or
bootstrap) at all.  Can you try just removing "./bootstrap" from
INSTALL.mingw and see what happens?

Did you perhaps have libgcrypt20-dev installed before, but not now?

Indeed.  Thanks for helping out!
