Everything else seemed to work fine... although I did not try to build a dll or shared library. Unfortunately, my code does no currently lend itself to a dll/so form without extensive modification.
One other observation: the configure script became huge, from 267k to almost 460k! but this is not important at this time. I will gladly help with any problems I can. Libtool is a godsend for me since I have to build libraries for solaris, linux and windows all the time and therefore would love to see a portable solution to shared libraries/dlls.
