Hi Pierre,

thanks for the report and patch!

So that means you've encountered it with some code, on some system.
Does your patch fix a testcase there, and if not, care to add (or
describe) one?

Then, I'm seeing a small inconsistency between func_win32_libid and the
libtool.m4 text (taken post-patch, but the inconsistency was there
before):

  (pe-i386(.*architecture: i386)?|pe-arm-wince|pe-x86-64)
(pei*-i386(.*architecture: i386)?|pe-arm-wince|pe-x86-64)

Which one's right?

2.2.6b was a pure security fix release and has only a couple of changes
over 2.2.6a.

Yeah, that's because we've not been getting the current branch in
release shape.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

AFAICS copyright papers are not in place for you yet; more about this
off-list (but please don't send more patch text until this is sorted
out).

Thanks,
Ralf
