It's crunching now.  (I had built/installed libtool, so I had to 
uninstall libtool in order to test your most recent automake changes 
with the same environment I used earlier. :-) )

It'll be a while before the tests finish. :-)  For now, I just noticed 
that the 'ccnoco' test PASSed.  I'll send a complete report in an hour 
or so when the tests complete.

I think I know.  I changed my binutils over to use Paul Sokolovsky's 
auto-imports patch in between.  thus, with the original 
"cygwin-official" binutils, I get the unexpected pass.  After compiling 
binutils from source (patched with Robert Collins' version of Paul 
Sokolovsky's auto-import patch), THEN I ran the verbose tests -- and get 
the 'expected failure'.

BTW, has the following patch been applied to CVS yet? (I don't see it).

[PATCH] fix install on cygwin with shared libraries
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/libtool/2001-June/004990.html

According to Robert Collins, this is necessary to install correctly.
