Eric, thank you very much for your help. Below, I'm going to answer to
the questions you asked. It would be great if I could get that stuff to
work again. :-)

According to Public Mailing Lists on 5/27/2007 8:30 PM:
/usr/bin/m4:configure.in:1363: cannot create temporary file for
diversion: Permission denied
/usr/bin/m4: cannot remove temporary directory /tmp/m4-KJkmd5: Directory
not empty
autom4te-2.61: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
Has anyone encountered this error message before? Is there something
messed up with my file system permissions? How can I debug this?
Based on the error message, I assume you either have $TMPDIR set to /tmp,
or not set at all. What do the following commands say?
TMPDIR is not set at all.
Please note that it is a German version of Windows, the the Windows user
names are translated to German language:

There is something going on with permissions. Another thing to check is
if you have any rogue drivers that might be interfering with normal cygwin
operation; the list of known culprits includes:
Sonic Solutions burning software containing DLA component
Norton/MacAffee/Symantec antivirus or antispyware
Logitech webcam software with "Logitech process monitor" service
Kerio, Agnitum or ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall
Iolo System Mechanic/AntiVirus/Firewall
LanDesk
Windows Defender
Embassy Trust Suite fingerprint reader software wxvault.dll
