Looking through that email, if the version in the AC_PREREQ statement
(in configure.ac) is greater than 2.13, which it is, then it will use
the 2.5x version of the tools. Also according to that email, the wrapper
scripts should then take care of path issues, but it look like it did
not on your machine :-(

which version of gcc is cygwin running? fork errors are normally
compiler errors, trying to fork a separate process ie the assembler, not
permissions in the source directories.

For what it is worth, I tested the current autotools build on windows
under msys/mingw and that worked. I have not tried a cygwin build
though.
