Hi Charles,

I've taken a deeper look into the libtool sources and found a hint relating to
the way other os do this checking, for example

libtool.m4.in

<snip>
# AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD
<snip>

pass_all
========

cygwin* | mingw* )  	lt_cv_deplibs_check_method='pass_all'   # RH
cygwin* | mingw* )   	lt_cv_deplibs_check_method='file_magic'  # CW

Also in case you tell me that this is to late, see this for information purpose.

I can see from this, that major unix platforms use 'pass_all', so there couldn't
be so much issues.

Ralf
