Sorry, was going to reply to that, but forgot about it along the way.

As for my reply to that for windows only support we do not need
a few of the checks namely:
1) HAVE_BSD_SYSCTL
2) ICONV_OMITS_BOM (because we are using GNU libiconv 1.16)

The functions checks (check_function_exists) is needed.
A few of the header checks are unnecessary(paths.h sys/sysinfo.h).

The difference in build between Linux platforms and Windows would
be 8-15 lines of code atmost . I see no point in the extra Linux stuff to be
a burden for the reviewers.

There is another way of just copying the configurations in config.mak.uname,
but this hurts the purpose of configuring in the first place.

macOS support is ways off, needs quite a bit of work.

In terms of Linux support apart from the function, header checks there
is nothing special
implemented here.

Yes, fair point.

Have executed GIT-VERSION-GEN, then parsed the GIT-VERSION-FILE for
version info.
Added it to the list of changes.
