The assumption is in libtool, not in autoconf, nor in configure, nor in the Gnu Coding Standards, and it is an invalid assumption(*).

I understand; my point was that there is an existing assumption and my patch does nothing to change that. IOW having libtool put the DLL in a "different" bindir is actually a separate, unrelated issue.
Why on earth would the --bindir= option even exist if there was no valid way of ever using it?
You can use it; it still works fine with automake-controlled bin_* targets. Yaakov -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
