This was indeed the case. I ran cygwin setup again and did some messing 
with automake/autoconf. I turned out I had: autoconf, autoconf-devel, 
autoconf-stable. Same for automake. I then removed autoconf and 
reinstalled autoconf-stable. Again same for automake. Then all was built 
succesfully.

- Why are there 3 packages anyway?
- Why is it autoconf, autoconf-stable and not autoconf-unstable, autoconf?

Regards,

Micha.
