This is an old bug that has bitten all the various 'src' projects (cygwin, newlib, gcc, binutils) in various places. It looks like all of them still have not been stamped out yet. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-05/msg00751.html http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2006/msg00472.html http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32078 http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-04/msg01076.html According to the last link, this is fixed in autoconf 2.60, however the src tree still uses 2.59 as a rule. It is a big pain to change these requirements as it involves everyone who works on any affected project to have that exact version installed locally when regenerating and checking in generated files.
