Hi Ozkan, > Libtool < 2.2.6/2.2.7 may not detect w64 libraries properly so the > linkage would fail. Please look at what the patch does: it just updates > the pe-x86_64 magic that is already in libtool 2.2.7.
While I have been developing code and compiling open source projects for a long time, I am not so familiar with exact flow for libtool (and automake and friends). This might be for the better. :) Consequently, the patch was not (and still is not) so obvious to me. My understanding is that the patch is required for building target code that links to pe-x86_64 libraries when the build process is tied to libtool. At the end of the day, once I build binutils, gcc, and mingw-w64-crt, I use my -w64- cross-compiler with a build system that is not dependent on libtool. Therefore, my guess is that the patch is not necessary, but applying it would not cause any harm either (of course). Is this correct?
