Err, I ran the whole test suite using it...

Is it possible that there's something else on my system that's enabling 
an ostensibly broken libtool tree to work properly, or something on your 
system that's preventing an ostensibly working libtool tree from doing 
so?  Where should I look?

Hmm...did you get the ltmain.in/sh change -- that is, in your generated 
libtool script, is win32_libid() defined?
