Libtool (probably the 1.5 release) did used to work under MinGW. A recent libtool from CVS does not work properly under MinGW. The symptom is that libtool checks a DLL's validity using the 'file' command. This fails so use of the DLL library is rejected.
The MinGW MSYS environment does not provide a 'file' command so libtool shouldn't be trying to use file magic tests. It is questionable if it is really necessary to test a file with a .DLL extension to verify that what it most likely is. I assume that a recent Cygwin enhancement to be more exacting is causing MinGW builds to fail.
