It does not sound like Windows CE offers enough functionality to make this possible.

So what should be done to disable the execution of the c wrapper on that platform only ?

Do you mean build, or do you mean execution? Something needs to be written to the name of the program being built in order for the makefiles to be satisified. The C wrapper is not executed other than via 'make check' or because you specifically invoked it. It is needed so that argv[0] is set appropriately and so the DLLs the program depends on are found.

Presumably if Windows CE can be properly detected, then a shell script wrapper can be written instead like on Unix systems. Of course that shell script would be essentially useless. Of course this would require updates to libtool.
