[Threads-list] Trouble compiling

[Martin M. <mam...@st...>]

Hello! I'm trying to compile threads-3.6 under Cygwin, with no luck. I'm 
using a recent (a couple of weeks old) version of the Cygwin utilities. 
I've included my output from autogen.sh below. Seems automake is 
complaining about aclocal.m4. I've tried running aclocal in the threads 
directory, but that didn't help. I should say that I've never used 
automake before, so I might be missing something there.

Help, anybody?
