AFAIK, relinking is only done (on any system) to fix up library run paths? If so, relinking is definitely never required on Windows, because *no* path information is recorded in executables. Is there any any combination of libtool configuration variables that will tell it "never relink"? Last time I looked, I couldn't find such a setting, so I resorted to disabling that section of code in ltmain.sh with a case statement. I've been meaning to have a closer look and maybe send in a patch, but I haven't got around to it yet.
