Is there some way to keep

Off the top of my head, ISTR rerunning the failed libtool line with
RM set to ':' in the environment leaves behind the temporory *S.c
files.

Indeed, that works. Now my question is how to go about hooking libtool's calculation of $global_symbols_pipe on cygwin (and probably all Windows targets) to exclude the __nm_thnk* and __fu0_* symbols that nm lists, but
which are only magic hooks to work around limitations of .dll linkage
rather than actual C entry points.

How can we tell the difference between an actual C entry point and a magic
hook?

Cheers,
