Glib not possible as a shared library? (missing shared -luser32)

[Christof Petig]

If I try to build glib.dll I get the following error: (recent cygwin)

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -Wall -D_REENTRANT  -o
libglib-1.3.la -rpath /usr/local/lib -version-info 5:0:0

Perhaps it's libtools fault, but what to do?
