Hey, wait just a doggone minute, in CURRENT libtool:

libtool.m4: 4159 _LT_LINKER_SHLIBS([TAGNAME]) sets it [correctly?] here

  cygwin* | mingw*)
    _LT_TAGVAR(export_symbols_cmds, $1)='$NM $libobjs $convenience | 
$global_symbol_pipe | $SED -e '\''/^[[BCDGRS]][[ ]]/s/.*[[ ]]\([[^ ]]*
\)/\1 DATA/;/^.*[[ ]]__nm__/s/^.*[[ ]]__nm__\([[^ ]]*\)[[ ]][[^ ]]*/\1 
DATA/;/^I[[ ]]/d;/^[[AITW]][[ ]]/s/.* //'\'' | sort | uniq > $export
_symbols'
  ;;


libtool.m4: 4304 _LT_LINKER_SHLIBS([TAGNAME])
but then resets it [incorrectly?] in a different 'case $host' expression 
a little later!

    cygwin* | mingw* | pw32*)
      # _LT_TAGVAR(hardcode_libdir_flag_spec, $1) is actually meaningless,
      # as there is no search path for DLLs.
      _LT_TAGVAR(hardcode_libdir_flag_spec, $1)='-L$libdir'
      _LT_TAGVAR(allow_undefined_flag, $1)=unsupported
      _LT_TAGVAR(always_export_symbols, $1)=no
      _LT_TAGVAR(enable_shared_with_static_runtimes, $1)=yes
      _LT_TAGVAR(export_symbols_cmds, $1)='$NM $libobjs $convenience | 
$global_symbol_pipe | $SED -e '\''/^[[BCDGRS]][[ ]]/s/.*[[ ]]\([[^ 
]]*\)/\1 DATA/'\'' | $SED -e '\''/^[[AITW]][[ ]]/s/.*[[ ]]//'\'' | sort 
| uniq > $export_symbols'


What is the first 'case $host' expression there for? Why isn't it folded 
into the other one? And why do the two separate 'case $host' blocks 
specify different export_symbols_cmds for the same $host?
