    libtool: mingw hangs in func_convert_core_msys_to_w32
    
    The `cmd //c ...` is is an invocation of the Windows console command
    line shell `cmd`. The slashes are Windows console shell command line
    option switch characters '/', with `cmd /c ...` meant to be
    equivalent to `sh -c ...`.
    
    It results in the Windows `cmd` shell being invoked as an interactive
    console shell, as if invoked with the '/k' switch, but ignoring any
    provided command string, hanging builds!
    
    * build-aux/ltmain.in: Remove additional forward slash for option.
