If they don't, then something is broken in how autoconf is run. Do you have another pkg.m4 somewhere? Did your installation rely on ACLOCAL_PATH being set (looks like it's no emptied when running 'aclocal'). Is your m4.exe an MSYS program or a MinGW program? What about automake and autoconf: are you using the packages from ezwinports or from somewhere else? Do you have a single MSYS tree and a single MinGW tree with all the tools, or do you install each package into its own directory (which might cause trouble when one package needs to access files installed by another)? These are just random questions. The truth is I don't have the slightest idea about what's wrong there, and cannot debug this over email, sorry.
