Thanks for this information.
I'll check if this also helps for mingw and the -liberty issue.

Oh, I don't understand libtool and its philosophy at all. Now why do I 
need to tell libtool to pass-through a library to the compiler to get it 
linked. I simply don't understand it.

The whole story boils down to subverting all the logic libtool with 
great effort tries to have, to just get the job done right.
