according to your screenshot, you're on a windows 64bit box and try to
compile GRASS trunk. am I right?

if you want to compile trunk on a windows 64bit box, then you have to use
following command:

PACKAGE_POSTFIX=-daily OSGEO4W_POSTFIX=64 ./mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh

just tried here on my win 10 64bit box, configure and compiling works with
the command above.

when compilation starts, error.log lives in:

C:\msys64\usr\src\grass_trunk\error.log

and package.log lives in 

C:\msys64\usr\src\grass_trunk\mswindows\osgeo4w\package.log

have a look into this folder:

C:\msys64\usr\src\grass_trunk\mswindows\osgeo4w

is there a file called configure-stamp in this folder? if yes, then just
delete this file and try it again and report back here.


while writing this mail, my test compilation on my windows 10 64bit box
finished:

in package log I can see:
