Hmm, I doubt it. %-expansion is more inconsistent than it should be.
2.2.0 fixed a few more places where it wasn't happening, but I fully
expect that there are more.
As it turns out, after a quick code check, Jochen Schwarze added a
patch more than two years ago that expands the %LIBS value, but it was
explicitly coded to only happen on Windows NT! I can't think of a reason
why both systems shouldn't do this...

Thanks again for the test case.
