Remember, the (now) current version of gettext for cygwin is only
*partially* migrated over to libtool. It looks as tho the parts that
*aren't* are causing a problem on other platforms. Therefore, the
"full" correction to this problem will probably have to wait until:
a) we're happy with the current cygwin/libtool port
b) we get the nifty libtool changes pushed into the REAL libtool
c) we ensure that the REAL libtool (which includes our changes) works
okay on cygwin
d) I *fully* re-libtoolize gettext using the new (REAL) libtool
e) We push the re-libtoolized version to the upstream gettext folks.
THEN, your problems should go away -- but as you can see, it'll be a
long process. I'm sorry, but shared libs on windows just plain suck.
