Follow-up Comment #1:

> There isn't even a "compile" script in the "build-aux" subdirectory, as can
be found in previous releases.

Actually there is no need to package this script in every package. gettext's
INSTALL.windows file says

   You also need the scripts 'ar-lib' and 'compile' from
    
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/ar-lib;hb=HEAD
    
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/compile;hb=HEAD
   respectively.
   They may also be included in this package, in directory 'build-aux/'.
   Save them; the instructions below assume that you stored them in
$HOME/msvc/.
   Make them executable:
      chmod a+x ar-lib compile


> This seems to erase the work done in aclocal's "init.m4" file, which extends
AC_PROG_CC to also invoke _AM_PROG_CC_C_O.

In my experience, all $CC values support -c with -o, thus this special
automake code is not necessary.
