Automake may have changed in that regard, at some point. Still that would constitut, if not a flat-out bug, at least severe bit-rot in the upstream package, because if it doesn't work with Cygwin's automake version 1.15, it most likely doesn't with reasonably current versions of automake on other platforms, either. > - In the past cygport automatically added an option to autoreconf to > include the local m4 folder.
