Hi Oleg, thanks for the report.

Consider that 1.11 is already some years old, and, most importantly,
suffers from a know security vulnerability:

  <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.autotools.announce/131>

I'd advise you to install the latest version 1.11.3 instead.

Now, let's come to the bug report ...

WOW!  This is clearly the result of a weird failure in the Automake build
system, or of some system misconfiguration ...

[SNIP a ton of similar failures]

It seems the wrapper scripts in the testsuite are unable to execute the just-built
aclocal and automake scripts ...  Which commands have you used to run the testsuite?
Have the 'aclocal' and 'automake' scripts been created correctly?  Could you please
post the results of these commands?

  $ cd /cygdrive/c/m2sync/automake-1.11/
  $ ls -l aclocal automake
  $ sed 5q aclocal
  $ sed 5q automake
  $ cat tests/aclocal-1.11
  $ cat tests/auatomake-1.11
  $ echo 'x:; @echo $(PERL) && $(PERL) -V' | make -f Makefile -f - x

Since the autom4te and autoconf scripts are only used by Automake, but not
installed nor managed by it (they are part of the Autoconf package), this
failure suggests that the fault does not lie in the Automake build system,
but rather in some system misconfiguration ...  Are you sure your Cygwin
installation is correct and sane?

Thanks,
  Stefano
