AFAICT, HEAD doesn't differ from the 7.6 release (I haven't yet started
working on 7.7 yet).

Hmm, those underquoted definition warnings should be harmless. So that
missing config.rpath seems to be the culprit. Unfortunately I have no
idea what that file does, my build doesn't have it and apparently
doesn't need it. I'd guess it's something related to libtool. But then
libtoolize should add it. Or maybe the current libtool version of Cygwin
is broken? Did you try to run autogen.sh on older Cygwin versions before?

IIRC that's just to make automake happy with packages that do not
strictly follow some GNU standards.

Those are all newer than the ones that I got on SUSE 10.1, so I can't
reproduce your problems right now. Alas, I'm currently busy preparing
stuff for the Linux Audio Conference, so it may take a while until I
have the time to take a closer look at this. If you figure it out in the
meantime, please let me have your patches so that I can commit them.

Best,
Albert
