Your patch were for sections of libtool.  Only the cvs HEAD version of 
libtool will work properly for the mingw32 target.  Come to think of it, 
I don't know that it's been tested in a cross build.  I know that work 
is underway to update the GCC configury to the most current of 
autotools.  If this weren't GCC I'd suggest updating the configury.  As 
it is, you may wish to take a look at the libtool cvs HEAD to see what 
else you may need to change for this particular problem.
