This works for me:

You are in a state where the debug info for cygwin1.dll has been loaded? 
  Trying to set a breakpoint before the program has run won't work, as 
cygwin1.dll hasn't loaded yet...

This version of autoconf is packaged as gcc-tools-epoch2-autoconf.  The 
announce mail for that explains how to use it.

Moving off such ancient autotools needs to be done, but SHTDI...
