Hi! I was going to hold off this until after I had run the testsuite one more time with the latest fixes, but the recent message from Gary made me post right away. By the Lay of Murphy, I'm sure I'll regret it...
This series is a rebased and updated version of the patches posted in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2010-08/msg00222.html I have reason to believe that these patches will make the testsuite results cleaner for MinGW (gcc) on MSYS, MSVC on MSYS, MSVC on Cygwin and have no impact on gcc on Cygwin. I will post details in a day of so when the testsuite has finished running... Cheers, Peter
