Hmm. That suggests an experiment. Might try renaming the development 
version to see if it is getting called even though it shouldn't.

As I read it the version I have is 1.7.1-1 (devel) and 1.4p5-5 (stable) 
and the compiler is 3.2-3.

I am attaching the results of piping the commands as you requested into 
  text files. Besides giving the versions above it shows nothing about 
plib. Is that because plib is not part of the distribution of cygwin?

Just finished with doing ./config on a clean example directory and the 
patch applied after doing a make clean/make/make install on plib. This 
allowed ./configure to run to completion. I just started a make on the 
examples and that is running fine.

Doesn't necessarily fix the autoconf issue, but it is a very welcome 
state to be in.
