It depends. mingw32-configure is just a convenient helper script. It's there if you find it helpful, but you don't have to use it.
In many situations it is sufficient just to do:
./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32
yes, I tried to use mingw32-configure instead of ./configure, and the error is still there.
BTW the --build parameter that Aaron used really is unnecessary, and possibly wrong. I can't think of a situation when ./configure wouldn't be able to correctly determine the current build system.
Thanks for this information.
