Not quite right, I think.

./XWin.exe is a small wrapper generated by libtool which executes 
.libs/XWin.exe (I believe for doing special things if needed to find libtool 
libraries which are not yet installed)

I've seen this on some occasions, I've never quite got around to trying to 
work out why it happens.

afaik, since this wrapper isn't doing anything useful for you in this 
particular case, you can invoke .libs/XWin.exe directly and it should just work.
