With this release, the Emacs (master) build is broken. It does not pass 
the autogen.sh step:

./autogen.sh
Checking whether you have the necessary tools...
(Read INSTALL.REPO for more details on building Emacs)

Checking for autoconf (need at least version 2.65)...
ok
Checking for automake (need at least version 1.11)...
ok
Your system has the required tools.
Running 'autoreconf -fi -I m4' ...
am-wrapper: C:\cygwin64\usr\share\autotools\am-wrapper.sh: error: Unable 
to locate any usuable version of automake.

Reverting to 1.7.34 fixes the build:

./autogen.sh

(Read INSTALL.REPO for more details on building Emacs)

Checking for autoconf (need at least version 2.65)...

Running 'autoreconf -fi -I m4' ...

configure.ac:139: installing 'build-aux/config.guess'

configure.ac:136: installing 'build-aux/install-sh'
configure.ac:136: installing 'build-aux/missing'

You can now run './configure'.

Ciao,
  Angelo.
