Please search on the libtool-patches list for Peter Ekberg's patches. Not sure if this is the latest: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.patches/6489> Then came the wgcc patches (also not applied), but they don't target plain MSVC. >> Which Libtool version do you use?

There are (at least) two ways to do this: 1) expand some special environment variable 2) allow through some special flag -Wr,$flag_for_archiver (for aRchiver), could probably be used. In the simplest case, it'd be sufficient if the user could override $AR (with a program + options). I think for most uses that would be sufficient within Peter's patches.
