Cygwin's libtool, passing .def file name to gcc during linking

[Maarten Boekhold]

Hi,

I'm trying to port an application to Cygwin that uses libtool to drive 
compilation/linking.

This application needs to be linked with a ".def" file during the 
linking stage, i.e. (formatted to make it readable)

/bin/bash ./libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2
                     -o libplugin.la -rpath /usr/local/lib
                     -no-undefined
                     -module
                     libplugin_la-plugin.lo -lgobject-2.0
                     -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv plugin.def
                                               ^^^^^^^^^^
rm -fr  .libs/libplugin.dll.a
gcc -shared  .libs/libplugin_la-plugin.o
     -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.dll.a
     /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.dll.a /usr/lib/libintl.dll.a
     /usr/lib/libiconv.dll.a  -o .libs/cygplugin-0.dll
     -Wl,--image-base=0x10000000
     -Wl,--out-implib,.libs/libplugin.dll.a

as you see I'm trying to pass a 'plugin.def' filename to libtool, with 
the intention this shows up in the GCC command. It doesn't, and I can't 
figure out how to pass this apart from manually hacking libtool.

Anybody have any suggestions?

(btw. the reason I send this to the cygwin list is that I know the 
cygwin version of libtool is somewhat hacked. I'm using devel btw.)
