Okay, got it working now. I've installed MinGW (again) via that new mingw-get installer from sourceforge. And I had the same error message as you, so I've downloaded pcre-8.01.tar.bz2 from ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/, I've put it in my swig svn directory (C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\src\swig) and I've ran the tools/pcre-build.sh script.
So I've ran ./configure again and make. It's building right now.
