HI,

  I allread debug the problem down ....
  I allways using the cygwin latest
        automake-1.10
        autoconf-2.63

$ ./libtool -v
libtool: error: you must specify a MODE.

        -> this is an other bug

$ ./libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6

  1. the libtool add allways a "lib" prefix to the libraries added

        insted searching for ws2_32, libtool search for libws2_32
                even in the /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32
        directory

        if change the created "libtool" image
                from:           libname_spec="lib\$name"
                to:             libname_spec="\$name"

        and everything works fine without problem
        even the libraries created have the name what I want :^⁾

  2. can you please submit a "host" target which create
        really native "windows" lib without any prefix
        added by libtool

        currectly I have to fix the libtool after every
        configuration by hand
