Problem compiling dll on cygwin

[Daniel Tschan]

Hi

I have problems compiling a patched version of Jikes on Cygwin. The patch
modifies the autotools configuration so that Jikes compiles to a shared
library. It compiles without problems on GNU/Linux and Solaris. Here is the
result on Cygwin:

...
make  all-am
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tschan/jikes-1.13/src'
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link g++  -g -O2   -o libjikes.la -rpath
/usr/local/lib -no-undefined ast.lo body.lo bytecode.lo case.lo code.lo

rm -fr .libs/libjikes.la .libs/libjikes.* .libs/libjikes.*
generating symbol list for `libjikes.la'
test -f .libs/cygjikes-0.dll-ltdll.c || sed -e "/^# \/\* ltdll\.c starts
here \*\//,/^# \/\* ltdll.c ends here \*\// { s/^# //; p; }" -e d < [$]0 >
.libs/cygjikes-0.dll-ltdll.c
../libtool: [$]0: No such file or directory

I have tested different versions of libtool. The current CVS version results
in a BSOD (at the point where configure tries to determine the maximum
command line length), all other versions, including the HEAD of branch-1.4
give the result above.
