I always try to use the default src_compile autotools.cygclass function 
where possible to ensure that is the case.
Various GNU tool builds have that commented out by their previous 
experienced maintainers, so I tread carefully.
I do try to re-add the cygautoreconf function and comment out the 
src_compile function override where possible even in those cases.
I leave the commented out version in place to document the possibility 
that re-trying a build without cygautoreconf may fix issues.

In this case, all such alternatives (cygautoreconf, libtoolize, lndirs) 
tried either had no effect or broke the builds, which as I said, seem to 
have all the autoconf and automake files pre-generated, so that cygconf 
and cygmake should work, given a functional libtool.

I have also tried to rebuild libtool from sources to pick up updates, 
but that cygport build no longer even generates a Makefile!
However I notice that the tar contains a slew of .file temporaries that 
may be messing up that build.
