--- Comment #7 from David Woodhouse <dwmw2(a)infradead.org> ---
You're correct that we don't *install* the binary libtool wrapper.
Whether building natively, or building with MinGW, the wrapper is only used for
running the program locally inside the build tree.
When developing software, this is useful — you make a change, you build and you
run it from the build tree to test it.
The MinGW support on Fedora is extremely useful — I can have build trees for
Linux and for Windows side by side, and test my changes in both environments
(mostly using Wine, and then occasionally actually testing on real Windows
too).
But when I was adding full UTF16 command line handling for Windows, the Fedora
MinGW setup failed me because of this bug. I *had* to test every little change
on real Windows, which is a PITA. At least until I realised it wasn't a wine
bug, and I could work around it :)

sudo yum install mingw32-gcc
mingw32-configure
make
wine program.exe
.. works, on Fedora, for many libraries and programs.

I'm not familiar with this use-case, I need to look at it more carefully TBH.
But I thought that the binary libtool wrapper is not installed -- so it would
be low prio issue as we mail live without that. But that may have been pretty
likely untrue?

Thanks for taking the time to produce the test case, btw. As for cross-building
for Windows being out of scope for Fedora, the MinGW SIG may not entirely agree
with you there :)
I've added their list to Cc.
