Is it possible to get autotools for a 64bit Windows 10

I am trying to build an old program and have to do it on windows. In the build instructions i am required to use autoreconf and therefore i need to have autotools.

I have tried searching for it for a while and installing cygwin or gnuWin32 but I have come to a conclusion that those bins only work for a 32 bit operating system.Is there any way I can get those binaries for a 64 bit system?

auto tools have broken the ease of portability and the primary motivation for using Unix/Linux. Perhaps by design to drive the x86_64 trend or to reveal the hideously gnarled and spaghetti-like nature of makefiles, header files, and configuration files.
