Libtool is finicky and at least in my configuration, it does not seem to 
recognize that ws2_32 (the winsock2 library) is in the library path and it 
thinks it cannot resolve all the symbols. Passing 
"lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=pass_all" to configure tells libtool to ignore 
those errors and forge on ahead. The command would look like:

lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=pass_all ./configure --host=i686 ...

Hope that helps,
