Should be fixed with gnustep-msys-system-0.25.1 and gnustep-devel-1.1.1

autoconf is missing, but there is a version numbered binary at /bin/autoconf-2.64. Unfortunately running that, autoconf-2.64 can't find autom4t2-2.64, as it is looking in /mingw/bin whereas the binaries reside in /bin. After setting a symlink of /bin/autom4te-2.64 to /mingw/bin/autom4te-2.64, it runs, but this then runs /bin/m4 which barfs on an unexpected --gnu parameter?

So perhaps the solution is to install autoconf into /mingw/bin or otherwise change the path to search for autom4te-2.64 to include /bin. The error with /bin/m4 not liking --gnu parameter seems to be a divergence in versions between m4 and autoconf?
