I'm guessing you are trying to do this on a text mount; those 'blank' lines complained about by autom4te are probably all the carriage returns that m4 blindly copied to output, but perl wasn't expecting. Cygwin text mode and autoconf don't mix well (nor am I inclined to improve on the situation); use a binary mount instead. Meanwhile, cygwin comes with m4-1.4.10b-2 pre-compiled, so you must be using a self-compiled m4. Despite its name, this is a NEWER version of m4 than 1.4.11 (1.4.10b was beta released, and will eventually be renamed 1.6; then only the stable/security fixes were backported to the 1.4.x tree to create 1.4.11). I recommend sticking with cygwin's precompiled m4; it is much faster than 1.4.11 (ie it shaves seconds off the time to compile autoconf's testsuite). - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
