According to the thread below, libtool displays somewhat broken behavior
on Cygwin when /bin/file is not present. Since 'file' is a package of
its own and not in the Devel category it might be easy for a user to
overlook selecting it. It would probably be best if 'file' were added
to the 'requires' line of the libtool packages so that it's
automatically installed.
