Libtool relinking problem on MinGW

[Fred Cox]

I'm trying to update the pcre build for MinGW with the
latest autoconf and libtool.  After much learning
about DLLs and __declspec, I can now build the library
and run its checks, but the install relink quietly
fails.

Basically, libpcre supplies a Perl compatible regular
expression library, and libpcreposix puts a POSIX
interface on it.

libpcre exports two pointers to functions, via
__declspec(export), and libpcreposix imports tham, and
links against other functions in libpcre.

The link in the build directory works fine, and the
programs run.

The install relink fails with an undefined symbol,
which is one of the __declspec exported pointers.

Attached is the output of the failed install.  Look
for the /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=install /bin/install
-c libpcreposix.la /opt/pcre/lib/libpcreposix.la section.
