I don't see how this particular code causes the breakage; if OS/2 has no
cygwin_conv_path function, then the respective code should be disabled.
Can you post (copy and paste) errors that you are getting?

Can you please try out the git master tree of Libtool (or a nightly
snapshot) and report all test failures; see the README file for more
information on running the test suite.

Thanks,
Ralf
