You don't have to access one, as this is exactly what I am trying to achieve,
cross compile Windows binaries on Linux.

If I read your response correctly, all is needed is to set:
lt_cv_deplibs_check_method="pass_all"
For mingw hosts.

But I am no expert in libtool, and it is a complex set of macros.
All I know that in the final result libtool script setting:
deplibs_check_method="pass_all"

Makes it work.

If you have some other though and you want me to test, I will be happy to.

Alon.
