I want to compile JNA library on 32-bit Cygwin or on 32-bit Debian Linux using -Dskip-native=false parameter. I installed the required packages, but it can't be compiled. It can be compiled on 64-bit Cygwin or 64-bit Debian Linux without any problem (for 64-bit target), but can't be compiled on 32-bit platforms. I also tried to compile the sources on jna-4.2.1/dist/src-full folder, but it couldn't be compiled.
I use the following parameters for 32-bit target.
export ANT_OPTS="-d32 -Dos.prefix=win32-x86 -Dskip-native=false"
I got the following error messages on 64-bit Cygwin (using the same parameters).

I couldn't understand why it says "[exec] checking whether the C compiler works... no" although I installed all development packages and lib packages on 32-bit Cygwin and although gcc works.
How can I compile jna's native libraries for 32-bit platforms?
According to config.log, configure is failing here:
/cygdrive/d/Projects/jna-4.2.1/native/libffi/configure: line 3927: i686-pc-mingw32-gcc: command not found
Make sure that your cross compiler is on your path or add CC=/path/to/your-cross-compiler to FFI_CONFIG.
