There is a problem with dlltool 2.17 (mingw). If a directories in the
installation path contains a dot dlltool will fail. This is because a
bug in pex-win32.c:find_executable(). This routine is checking for an
extension by doing :
int has_extension = !!strchr (program, '.');
Which is obviously wrong if a directory contains a dot. Here is a
changelog and a patch to fix this problem.
* pex-win32.c:
(find_executable): Fix check for file extension. The dot must
come after the last directory separator if any.
