Hi Ed,

Thanks for the report.

I assume both tst_mindll and tst_mindll.exe are created by libtool,
the former is a shell script, the source for the latter is in
.libs/lt-tst_mindll.c and the real executable is at
.libs/tst_mindll.exe?

There's been a similar report before, I haven't looked into yet.
Looks like the libtool wrapper is broken somehow.  Libtool HEAD or
1.5.22?

Cheers,
Ralf
