Actually on Cygwin (and MingW) this whole thing is caused
by the following lines in ltmain.sh :
-L*)
dir=`$echo "X$arg" | $Xsed -e 's/^-L//'`
# We need an absolute path.
case $dir in
[\\/]* | [A-Za-z]:[\\/]*) ;;
*)
absdir=`cd "$dir" && pwd`
And there is the probem.
Replacing that last line with a simple absdir="$dir"
and, what do you know, everything works as it should.
Of course, leaving as original, it is a heck of a problem
trying to trace further usage of absdir and dir.
THe question is, of course, what is the downside
of this change (locally for our product).

Hi Ralf,
Well, how ARE you supposed to get around this ?
Here's an excerpt :
HOME is /cygdrive/c/Dokumente und Einstellungen/Roger While
build directory is $HOME/open-cobol-0.33
Due to the many layers of shell scripting in libtool, supporting spaces in
filenames is complicated and must be proven for every case. It is a huge job.
Since you are using Cygwin, you should be able to use Cygwin's 'mount'
facility to map the problem path so that it appears as a path without
spaces in the name. Of course, this approach is not as user friendly as
it could be and requires extra effort on the part of the person who builds
the package.
