Details:
autoconf is missing, but there is a version numbered binary at
/bin/autoconf-2.64. Unfortunately running that, autoconf-2.64 can't find
autom4t2-2.64, as it is looking in /mingw/bin whereas the binaries reside in
/bin. After setting a symlink of /bin/autom4te-2.64 to
/mingw/bin/autom4te-2.64, it runs, but this then runs /bin/m4 which barfs on
an unexpected --gnu parameter?
So perhaps the solution is to install autoconf into /mingw/bin or otherwise
change the path to search for autom4te-2.64 to include /bin. The error with
/bin/m4 not liking --gnu parameter seems to be a divergence in versions
between m4 and autoconf?
