Hi,

I was attempting to build setup as a Cygwin app.  I gave the following
configure command:

/usr/src/setup-cvs/setup/configure -C --enable-dependencies --disable-shared --host=i686-pc-cygwin --build=i686-pc-cygwin CC='gcc' CXX='g++' --enable-maintainer-mode

and then did "make".  Make failed with the following error:

Making all in libgetopt++
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/setup-cvs/build-cygwin/libgetopt++'
if /bin/bash ./libtool --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/src/setup-cvs/setup/libgetopt++ -I./include -I/usr/src/setup-cvs/setup/libgetopt++/include    -g -O2 -MT src/GetOption.lo -MD -MP -MF "src/.deps/GetOption.Tpo" \
  -c -o src/GetOption.lo `test -f 'src/GetOption.cc' || echo '/usr/src/setup-cvs/setup/libgetopt++/'`src/GetOption.cc; \
then mv "src/.deps/GetOption.Tpo" "src/.deps/GetOption.Plo"; \
else rm -f "src/.deps/GetOption.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi
libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'
make[2]: *** [src/GetOption.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/setup-cvs/build-cygwin/libgetopt++'

I'm using

$ cygcheck -c cygwin gcc libtool libtool-devel
Cygwin Package Information
Package             Version
cygwin              1.3.20-1
gcc                 3.2-3
libtool             20020705-1
libtool-devel       20030103-1

Did I do something wrong?  If not, is this a known problem?  If there's
further information needed, please let me know.  BTW, I can build setup as
a mingw app just fine.
	Igor
