SUMMARY
func_convert_core_msys_to_w32 in
/usr/share/libtool/build-aux/ltmain.sh
has an extraneous '/' in the call to
( cmd //c echo "$1" )
causing make to hang indefinitely
when configured with
--build=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
The project builds successfully on msys2 +
The build completes successfully by replacing the "cmd /c | sed"
construct with simply:
func_convert_core_msys_to_w32_result=$1
so no path translation takes place.
The function then becomes:
func_convert_core_msys_to_w32 ()
{
$debug_cmd
func_convert_core_msys_to_w32_result=$1
}

Is this a holdover from 13 year old mingw behavior? or related somehow

cmd.exe)?
Libtool was last released in 20
