Something is definately hosed with your installation in that
after adding the AC_PREREQ(2.13)  autom4te.cfg shouldn't
even be needed never mind causing an error as this was introduced
with automake 1.5 and autoconf 2.13 should be calling automake 1.4

FYI automake 1.5 is the future but it is INCOMPATABLE with
earlier versions and has been causing lots of grief 

If you want you can send me < NOT the list > the output of 

cygcheck -s -v -r
and
mount

and I 'might' be able to spot the problem

On the other hand if you are on a FAST pipe and don't have a lot
of 'locally generated' Cygwin files you could just delete your 
Cygwin tree and start over with the latest
