The build completes successfully by replacing the "cmd /c | sed"
construct with simply:
func_convert_core_msys_to_w32_result=$1

The function then becomes:

$debug_cmd
func_convert_core_msys_to_w32_result=$1
}
SUMMARY
func_convert_core_msys_to_w32 in
/usr/share/libtool/build-aux/ltmain.sh
has an extraneous '/' in the call to
( cmd //c echo "$1" )
causing make to hang indefinitely
when configured with
--build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
Which you don't need to change if you configure properly, as JonY
replied on the list to your earlier post:

Don't set --build, you are building on Cygwin, not MSYS.
Jonathan Yong is correct - removing --build allows make to complete
without error using the unmodified ltmain.sh > There's still the issue of generating a call to cmd.exe with an
invalid switch (//c), which will cause it to hang indefinitely if
ever invoked.

The issue exists in the package libtool upstream:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/tree/build-aux/ltmain.in#n963
I submitted a bug report with link to this thread and patch to the
upstream package maintainers; I will post any responses received.
