it is a libtool problem, in a manner or another. Your remark:

is wrong. We can link a lib against a static lib to produce a dll. Check 
when I link against libm.a, libws2_32.a, etc... in evil or other efl lib. 
There is no dll for those lib. But libtool detects that it is an import 
lib (look at the function func_win32_libid() in ltmain.sh or libtool 
scripts) and accepts to create the dll.

about the 'file' program, i didn't know.
