+       * ltmain.sh (cygwin, allow_undefined): Unfortunately, there are
+       problems with the above when trying to make a dll which has
+       undefined symbols, in which case not even a static library is
+       built.  For now, we need to specify -no-undefined on the libtool
+       link line when we can be certain that all symbols are satisfied,
+       otherwise we get a static library.
