I don't know if it is the direct cause of the problem but I see in
the Gnulib documentation, it says we should use an option to LT_INIT
that we are not currently using under tta/configure.ac:

     If you want it to be possible to compile your program for a native
  Windows platform and you use Libtool, you need to use the ‘win32-dll’
  option of ‘LT_INIT’.  In other words, put:
  
       LT_INIT([win32-dll])
  
     in your ‘configure.ac’.

(Info node "(gnulib)Libtool and Windows".)

I don't know if it is worth adding this before the release though, in
case it breaks something.
