different functions (_foo vs _imp__foo). So IMO creating a static library

is clearly intentional, I'd like to see it changed because it would have
saved me (and presumably others) a lot of time if libtool simply stopped
with an error after giving the above message instead of valiantly but
ultimately counterproductively trying to continue.
In what way was libtool specifically requested to build a DLL?
There are certainly cases where proceeding ahead with a static library
is a viable solution. If libtool simply refuses to proceed, then many
applications will fail to build and users will also be unhappy.
What happens if you specify --disable-static to configure? Does that
help?
