I don't see that happening here (same versions you used, on Cygwin, with 
freshly cvs-updated sources).  There are some Warnings, but they all 
only concern warnings from Cygwin-installed stuff in /usr/share/aclocal.

This is in a tree that has been built in before, though.  But since the 
problem is in configure.in processing by autoconf, which is done 
unconditionally by 'prepare', that shouldn't make a difference.

I don't think so.

No surprise --- they have nothing to with autoconf failing on configure.in.
