Secondly, the use of libtool suffocates the potential success of cygpath 
-m.

Given:

AM_LDFLAGS = -L../subproject
foo_LDADD = -lsub

automake will call libtool as usual, and libtool will expand it to
a cygwin path only:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -I../subproject -O2 -g 
-L../subproject -o foo.exe foo.o -lsub libtool: link: gcc 
-I../subproject -O2 -g -o .libs/foo.exe foo.o -L../subproject 
/home/User/project/subproject/.libs/libsub.a
gcc.exe: [longpath]/libsub.a: No such file or directory

How would one go about addressing this?
