I appreciate the problem, but Cygwin can be a bit 'special' when it
comes to libtool; if it hasn't been done yet, can you possibly bear to

more than say 'overnight'). Sorry to be a pain :-/

I can wait, especially since no one has given me the go ahead yet. :-)
I know of no cygwin testing that has been done.
Mixed results so far. Patching a binutils checkout and building it got me
this:

..which is entirely good :-D Then I tried a winsup checkout; it failed to
configure in newlib:

configure: updating cache ./config.cache
configure: error: conditional "am__fastdepCXX" was never defined.
Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally.
