Ah. Well as the long long examples demonstrate (presuming you have tried them on mingw :]), auto import is currently orthogonal to the ability to build dll's, in the general case. And users can *always* decorate their headers to import long long or any symbols without auto-import support in binutils. IMO, libtool should simply try and build the dll. If dll's need to be disabled, let the author do that via configure.in.
