Maybe, this discussion is related:
pkg-config wiki update and build problem - http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.msys/3822
Then, replace some text in the configure.ac:

AC_MSG_CHECKING([for default auto-load directory])
AC_ARG_WITH(auto-load-dir,
AS_HELP_STRING([--with-auto-load-dir=PATH],
  [directories from which to load auto-loaded scripts @<:@$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load@:>@]),,
  [with_auto_load_dir='$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load'])
escape_dir=`echo $with_auto_load_dir | sed 's/[[$]]\(datadir\|debugdir\)\>/\\\\\\\\\\\\&/g'`
AC_DEFINE_DIR(AUTO_LOAD_DIR, escape_dir,
	      [Directories from which to load auto-loaded scripts.])
AC_MSG_RESULT([$with_auto_load_dir])
