The observation that leaded to the investigation was a 'host' 
misdetection under "ubuntu-latest" (automake 1.16.5) from GH Actions:

$ ./configure "CC=gcc -m32" # AC_CANONICAL_HOST sets 'host' to
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu # Cygwin automake 1.14-1.18
x86_64-pc-linux-gnux32 # ("x86_64 with x32 ABI") automake 1.16.5
i686-pc-linux-gnu # automake >= 1.17

On Cygwin, x86_64-pc-cygwin is correctly detected in all cases.
