Currently libltdl will attempt to load any file you request it to (and some you did not) under Windows. Libltdl is currently trying to load .dll.a files when it loads a .la file. This causes problems.
While there are valid reasons for *Windows* programmers to load .exe files and possibly some other types, it doesn't seem to me that libtool (the *portable* library/loader tool) should encourage loading anything but DLLs so attempting to load anything but a DLL should fail. Does anyone know of a reason that libtool should be willing to load anything but DLLs?
Thinking out loud ... not all DLLs are saved with a ".DLL" suffix. But as far as libltdl goes, processing the contents of a .la file, I think it's perfectly reasonable to exclude anything with a ".a" suffix. When asked to explicitly load a non-".la" file though, it should just load whatever was requested.
