It creates dlls fine for me.

Ah, but you want cross compiled dlls right?

I remember seeing Sam's patches,but don't recall whether they were rejected 
(and if so why) or simply missed... I lost my libtool patch queue along with 
the rest of the contents of my hard drive in March.  It may very well be that 
with a little bit of work, and some paperwork we can accept Sam's patches.

Not for cross compilation.

Nope.

If the patches are clean, or you don't mind working with me to clean them up 
before they are committed I would be delighted to accept them.  Please take a 
look at http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/contributing.html for some 
guidlines.
