CVS mono built for me on cygwin on Thursday (when I fixed a problem in
mono/interpreter/Makefile.am that I introduced when fixing the makefiles
for automake 1.6).

Very strange, this hasnt been changed in months.

Yes, this breaks on cygwin unless you use the stable autotools.  It
looks to me like the devel libtool is broken.

I have identical autoconf and automake packages installed, but gcc 2.95
and mingw-runtime 2.1-1.  Neither of those should effect automake that
way.
