Those must be really old instructions!
Check on the Cygwin Time Machine for automake-bin.
Repology.org has no hits for automake-bin, mostly just automake, including 
Cygwin, and a couple of instances of automake-common and automake-vanilla.
That could also just be a reference to BSD or similar ports package names.

Normally on Cygwin package builds, you run autoreconf to update the package 
autotools scripts and macros, and use or apply Cygwin adaptations to macros for 
tool variants.
It is normally easier to install cygport and create a cygport script with 
minimal variable definitions to automagically build and check a package using 
autotools.
