OK that was it indeed! I just had to modify this :

sys_lib_search_path_spec=" 
/usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i386-mingw32msvc/2.95.3/:/usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/:/usr/local/cross-tools/lib/gcc-lib/i386-mingw32msvc/2.95.3/:/usr/lib/gcc/i386-mingw32msvc/2.95.3
...

to this :

sys_lib_search_path_spec=" 
/usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i386-mingw32msvc/2.95.3
 /usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc/bin/../lib/gcc-lib 
/usr/local/cross-tools/lib/gcc-lib/i386-mingw32msvc/2.95.3 
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-mingw32msvc/2.95.3 ...

Great. But I still have the problem with the wrong $host_cc defined to
compile impgen.c so I have to do it by hand.

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link c++  -g -O2  -o libblind.la -rpath 
/usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc/lib -no-undefined --noinhibit-exec 
-mcoonsole --export-all-symbols csdemo.lo audioenv.lo avenvironment.lo 
object.lo  -lopenal32 
extracting exported symbol list from `OpenAL32.dll'
test -f .libs/impgen.c || \
      sed -e "/^# \/\* impgen\.c starts here \*\//,/^# \/\* impgen.c ends here 
\*\// { s/^# //;s/^# *$//; p; }" -e d < ./libtool > .libs/impgen.c 
      test -f .libs/impgen.exe || (cd .libs && \
      if test "x" != "x" ; then  -o impgen impgen.c ; \
      else gcc -o impgen impgen.c ; fi) 
      .libs/impgen /usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc/lib/OpenAL32.dll > 
.libs/OpenAL32.dll-def
./libtool: .libs/impgen: cannot execute binary file
make: *** [libblind.la] Erreur 126

Hopefully I don't have to release win32 dlls too often. But I sure
would appreciate an updated libtool concerning those two problems. If
anyone as a temporary patch for libtool before an official correction,
please send it to me.

bye
