glib linking problems

[Bernhard Rumpler tttech com]

Hi,

I use MinGW (gcc 3.2.3) and Cygwin to compile glib-2.2.3 on windows.
Everything compiles, but linking causes some troubles (see below
for the output of make). The problem seem to be missing the missing
linker flags "-liconv -lintl" when the linker is run. As a 
workaround I set the -liconv and -lintl flags in LDFLAGS  before 
running configure:

> export CC='gcc -mcpu=pentium3 -mno-cygwin'
> export CPPFLAGS='-Ic:/MinGW/include -Ic:/GnuWin32/include'
> export CFLAGS=-O2
> export LDFLAGS='-Lc:/MinGW/lib -Lc:/GnuWin32/lib -liconv -lintl' # 
XXX<---

> # ensure, that pkg-config does not use cygwin-stuff:
> PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/cygdrive/c/GnuWin32/lib/pkgconfig'
> 
> ./configure --with-libiconv --disable-static -- prefix=/cygdrive/c/MinGW 
--host=i386-pc-mingw32

I use the -liconv and -lintl in the LDFLAGS, since I expected them
to be passed to libtool. This is the case: The generated Makefile
sets LDFLAGS as expected, which is passed to libtool, the Makefile
does this correctly:

LINK = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=link $(CCLD) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o 
$@ 

This works as expected, can be seen in the output of make below. But then
from within libtool, the linker is invoked via gcc, without the linker 
flags. I think the following line is the one of the libtool script that
runs the linker, without the linker flags.

# Commands used to build and install a shared archive.
archive_cmds="\$CC -shared \$libobjs \$deplibs \$compiler_flags -o 
\$output_objdir/\$soname \${wl}--image-base=0x10000000 
\${wl}--out-implib,\$lib"

what could be the problem here? What else can I try to get the respective 
flags set for the linker? When I run the linker manually--exactly the same
as done by Makefile/libtool--and then add -liconv and -lintl, the library
links without errors.

Thanks for any hints!
Bernhard
