I don't know where this error message is coming from

I would try updating my < autoconf , automake > Cygwin files 
using the Cygwin setup program  
< these are in the devel category >

Cygwin will tell you that there are LOTs of things it will update
but you can click on the <View> button after you have made
your initial selections and 'view' what will be updated.  You
can now select what you want todo on an individual package
by clicking on the second column.  I would set all but those
you want to update to 'keep'

Cygwin has had many improvements since June and you might 
just want to update everything that it suggests though :-)
