Thanks, took them out.

Hmm, this *was* from a clean source tree, in a separate build directory...
A workaround I found on the 'net is to append "--tag=CC" to the value of
$(LIBTOOL) in the Makefiles, and this allowed the build to proceed.  I'm
afraid this is an ugly hack, though.  Could it be that my versions of
autoconf/automake are old?

$ cygcheck -c autoconf autoconf-devel autoconf-stable automake automake-devel automake-stable
Cygwin Package Information
Package             Version
autoconf            2.54-1
autoconf-devel      2.57-1
autoconf-stable     2.13-4
automake            1.7.1-1
automake-devel      1.7.2-1
automake-stable     1.4p5-5

I'd much rather not have to muck around with generated Makefiles by hand.
Anyone have any pointers?
