All the DOS ports (djggp, mingw and cygwin) are quite recent and all based on gnu tools, so are generally untroubled by portability problems.
Latest for DJGPP ports: autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.6, libtool 1.5.
automake works out-of-the-box. Later automake 1.7.x should work with DJGPP, but I think 1.7.8 is the last one I tested.
autoconf has a few small patches. These made it into CVS after 2.57, but I have no tested autoconf CVS with DJGPP for 9 months and I have no plans to.
libtool has a few patches that made it into libtool CVS after 1.5. I haven't tested libtool with DJGPP since 1.5 was released.
(Although this does not mean that we shouldn't fix it.)
Actually, I think it does mean that. Ie. it works fine, and good reason to believe it will always, so no need to do anything.
If config.status.lineno was introduced post-autoconf 2.57, then it may not work with DJGPP.
I did not have time to test autoconf, automake, libtool much on DOS/Windows systems with only short filename support, so I have no idea, if they work on those systems.
