Due to the removal of cygnus tree support in later versions of automake, 
you need to use automake-1.11.6.  On Cygwin, we have special packages 
for this purpose (named gcc-tools-epoch2-{autoconf,automake}) installed 
into /opt/gcc-tools.  Having spoken to other binutils/gcc/gdb 
contributors, I gather everyone rolls either own custom build of these 
versions of the tools and use it accordingly.
