The problem with libtool is there is not enough MinGW developers keeping
the changes monitored and tested.  Make sure that /etc/config.site doesn't
exist or is renamed before you do the configure to see if that helps.  If
not, I'll dig up some libtool script that you can replace the generated
script with.
