 Sorry, this was wrong (as I only realized after waiting for another hour
for another rebuild to fail...). I had manually tested with 

        LDFLAGS='-L/opt/lmi/MinGW-20090203/lib'

which did work but then I decided to shorten it when writing my post and
broke it while doing because /MinGW_/lib is not a valid path for MinGW
tools, it's only valid for Cygwin, but Cygwin libtool uses MinGW objdump to
check the libraries format and so the path to libws2_32.a must be in MinGW
format, i.e. like above.

 I'm still waiting for another rebuild to fail^H^H^H^H finish but I wanted
to correct this error quickly before anybody else could be misled by it.

 Sorry again,
