I noticed that the output from 'file' has changed recently, e.g.: /bin $ file -L /bin/ls.exe /bin/ls.exe: MS-DOS executable PE for MS Windows (console) Intel 80386 32-bit Maybe this will help? Or perhaps something similar elsewhere. Libtool uses file in several ways to help it decide what it's going to build. /bin $ diff -pu libtool.orig libtool --- libtool.orig 2009-03-15 23:19:29.500000000 +0000 +++ libtool 2009-03-15 23:21:14.906250000 +0000 @@ -3273,6 +3273,7 @@ func_win32_libid () *executable*) # but shell scripts are "executable" too... case $win32_fileres in *MS\ Windows\ PE\ Intel*) + *PE*\ *MS\ Windows\ *Intel*) win32_libid_type="x86 DLL" ;; esac @_______. .
