My personal judgement - the problem is not in libtool but dlltool - we only need the host_cc setting to compile an impgen program but actually the dlltool should be enabled to examine a dll (via binutils) and build an export table for it - we do already use the crosscompiler to build an implib from it that can be bound to new .exe/.dll programs that make use of a windows dll. The real problem is - go to the binutils list and do all the communications so that "someone who knows binutils and dll format" (!!) will finally make an extension to have an "dlltool -Z" made ready for libtool. It might not be easy to find that someone - so possibly make more communications so that the little impgen.c (hacked)script gets added anyway and therefore gets installed with the next crossgcc-binutils package. If it gets installed with the crossgcc, no need to look for a native compiler when libtool runs... do you volunteer for job ? -> ;-) ...
