  I think that I have found the crux of the issue at the very end of libtool.m4.
That is where to_tool_file_cmd is supposedly set:

AC_MSG_CHECKING([how to convert $build file names to toolchain format])
AC_CACHE_VAL(lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd,
[#assume ordinary cross tools, or native build.
lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd=func_convert_file_noop
case $host in
  *-*-mingw* )
    case $build in
      *-*-mingw* ) # actually msys
        lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd=func_convert_file_msys_to_w32
        ;;
    esac
    ;;
esac
])
to_tool_file_cmd=$lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AC_MSG_RESULT([$lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd])
_LT_DECL([to_tool_file_cmd], [lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd],
         [0], [convert $build files to toolchain format])dnl
])# _LT_PATH_CONVERSION_FUNCTIONS

  This is a direct copy of the arch libtool.m4 file into the admin directory of
tdeutils. I still don't know whether this is a libtool bug or if it is a
tdeutils issues - anybody have a guess? I'll post to the tde list as well. Thanks.
