Erm, you're trying to build a program that will run on Windows, right?
There's no X11 on windows, so you should not need those headers.
Something is wrong here. How do you invoke the configure script? It
seems to be missing the references to the right toolchain.

You can take a look to how it's done on the OpenSUSE Build Service:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=mingw64-cairo.spec&package=mingw64-cairo&project=windows%3Amingw%3Awin64&srcmd5=0aca4e2085a8e3f16514d01baa998421
