 I found the same explanation for this problem!
 
 First of all let me mention, that automake 1.5 doesn't work correctly
 because it doesn't find depcomp:
 
 ....
 cd . && automake --gnu --include-deps Makefile
 automake: configure.in: required file `./depcomp' not found
 make[1]: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
 ...
 
 So it seems always good to me linking /usr/local/share/automake/depcomp
 there! This time it works in the telled manor.
 
 As far as I see at the moment, the problem 4804 is produced by line 3965 of
 /ltmain.sh
         case $host in
           *cygwin*) exeext=.exe ;;
           *) exeext= ;;
         esac
 
 I think somehow this exeext= ;; doesn't work correctly; you should use
 exeext=``; to give exeext a value! At the moment I think this should solve
 the problem!
 
 On the way you should also solve the problem with depcomp, but therefor I
 don't know how to help you; maybe this warning may have something to do with
 that, maybe not:
 /windows/gcc/fastjar/missing: Unknown `--run' option
 Try `/windows/gcc/fastjar/missing --help' for more information
 configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing
 It occurs after upgrading automake, I think!
 
 Greetings
 Georg
