Autoconf version matches yours:

$ cygcheck -c autoconf2.5
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
autoconf2.5          2.68-1         OK

$ head -3 configure
#! /bin/sh
# Guess values for system-dependent variables and create Makefiles.
# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.68 for run2 0.4.0.

Moving the -Werror flag to the cygmake step did the trick:

$ diff -u run2-0.4.0-1.cygport.orig run2-0.4.0-1.cygport
--- run2-0.4.0-1.cygport.orig   2009-12-29 07:30:19.000000000 +0100

 }

checking for an ANSI C-conforming const... yes

I've been able to compile without problems.

Thanks for your time.
