OK.

Hmm... I believe some of these commands are messing up with the timestamps
of the files in the Automake source tree, thus triggering the spurious
attempted rebuild you're seeing.  I suggest that you copy the Automake
tarball from Windows to QNX *before* extracting it, and then, on QNX,
use "xz -d" (or "gzip -d" if you are using the .gz tarball) to decompress
it, and tar to extract it (at this point, you shouldn't need to fix the
permissions with "chmod -R" either).

Please let us know if this works out.
