If you were so inclined, you could pull out ltmain.sh from my
recently uploaded curl-7.10.3-1-cygwin-src.tar.bz2 file and
see whether it runs OK on your machine... Or, you could wait
until libtool 1.5 is released and just try upgrading ltmain.sh...

Based on some responses from the cygwin mailing list, simply
re-running libtoolize with my version takes care of the problem
(at least for cygwin).

Thanks,

You're right, that's how I view it as well.

Could be worth a shot at least. Send it over to me and I'll do some digging
and see if I come up with anything.

Please do. I consider this to be a cygwin problem, possibly due to bugs in
autoconf or automake somwehere. Feel free to CC your posting to me, should
you think it necessary or helping.

After all, the configure script runs fine on a large variety of unix flavours
as it is.
