I am working on the search for libraries in func_mode_link to get it to find DLL import libraries on the search path (this is around line 4824 of ltmain.m4sh). The shlib_search_path is built on shlibpath_var which is set to PATH on cygwin. My setup happens to have a PATH with spaces in the directory names. These paths to search gets broken on the spaces in the directory name instead of just at the separator. I was looking at using func_to_host_pathlist function, but this does not seem to work either (I think at least partly because of cygpath). I thought this might be a cygwin bug, but using the "which" program seems to handle the path list correctly. cygpath -w -p however does not.
Another problem is that my PATH contains references to other environemnt variables (e.g. ...:%COMPILER%\bin). Again the "which" program seems to handle this. So, I guess I'm asking for suggestions on how I might make this work, or if I should just give up on trying to make it work. For now, I've just passed the needed directory using a -L flag in linker flags to get libtool to find the libraries in the search since that gets added to the lib_search_path and it seems to work. The only caveat is that the -L can only go to libtool otherwise other compiler tests in configure fail because the compiler expects -link -libpath.
