Thanks for this advice. I am starting to build gnulib testdirs with
$ ./configure --host=i586-pc-winnt --prefix=/usr/local/msvc \
CC="$HOME/msvc/compile cl -nologo" \
CFLAGS="-MD" \
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/msvc/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/msvc/lib" \
LD="link" \
NM="dumpbin -symbols" \
STRIP=":" \
AR="$HOME/msvc/ar-lib lib" \
RANLIB=":" \
and at least configure runs fine and gives reasonable results. (Here
$HOME/msvc/compile and $HOME/msvc/ar-lib are taken from the tip of the
msvc branch in Automake.)

How is that possible? Libtool contains special code for the platforms
cygwin*
mingw*
cegcc*
pw32*
interix*
but none for
winnt*
nor for
windows*
I think the $host_os value winnt should be treated similarly to mingw32
or pw32, no?
