I see! Now I got it.

Well, I know that, I just wanted to point out, that `autoreconf'
still uses the `libtool' that is provided by cygwin itself.

I removed that version anyway. Gerrit, thank you for your
patience, with your aid, I finally managed to build `glib'.  As
it turned out later, I need to build `glib', this wish however
stays unfulfilled, because the build process fails due to
undefined references.  I started a new thread on this under
news:<d76ers$ko1$1@sea.gmane.org>.
