Just to say that replacing `pwd` by $(CURDIR) and using mingw32-make does not
make it either, I still have that:
LC_ALL=C c:/Programme/GNU/Emacs_build20130408/bin/emacs.exe --batch
--directory=./ -l autoload \
--eval '(setq generated-autoload-file
c:/Programme/GNU/installation/bbdb-git/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-loaddefs.el)' \
--eval '(setq make-backup-files nil)' \
-f batch-update-autoloads c:/Programme/GNU/installation/bbdb-git/bbdb/lisp
Generating autoloads for ../../../../bbdb-git/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-loaddefs.el...
Generating autoloads for ../../../../bbdb-git/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-loaddefs.el...done
Saving file
c:/Programme/GNU/installation/emacs-install/emacs/trunk/lisp/c;c:msys.0ProgrammeGNUinstallatiobdb-gibdblisbdb-loaddefs.el...
that is to say
c:/Programme/GNU/installation/bbdb-git/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-loaddefs.el
is expanded for some reason by my EMACS version into
c:/Programme/GNU/installation/emacs-install/emacs/trunk/lisp/c;c:msys.0ProgrammeGNUinstallatiobdb-gibdblisbdb-loaddefs.el
I do not know why this happens and whether that would still happen with the
latest version of EMACS. Maybe this is due to my using a non releast EMACS ---
one that was built from repo one year or so ago.
VBR,
Vincent.

That has not to do with autoload tools, but with not using them. The
makefile-temp is not automatically generated by autoload tools, it is a plain
makefile that does not work in all cases --- at least it does not work on
MSWindows XP as far as I can say.
I was proposing a fix which I had done for myself, while trying to keep
backward compatibility, but it seems that this fix is too complex, I do not
argue. The best way would anyway have been to use autoload --- or some other
build system that is platform independent (EDE ?). Or maybe there can be
alternative fixes simpler than what I had put forward (using mingw32-make
instead of msys make and $(CURDIR) instead of `pwd` would probably make it,
but I did not try...)

If the autotools-based stuff doesn't work on MSWindows, please report
the details.
That would be a bug, and we should be able to fix it, because
autotools-generated
scripts are intended to work in that environment (given an installed
bourne-compatible
shell, and make), and they are doing nothing fancy here.
If it is an issue of various support programs being necessary (texinfo stuff,
for example), we could try to add options like ./configure --disable-texinfo
or
such, and default them to off if the support programs are unavailable.
If it is a problem with filenames, that could probably be fixed with
appropriate
machinations. Is it having trouble finding the Emacs executable? That would
be a bug in some m4 macros. Anyway, we should arrange things so autotools
works on MSWindows.
