+If you want it to be possible to cross-compile your program to MinGW
+and you use Libtool, you need to put:
+
+@example
+AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
+@end example
+
+in your @file{configure.ac}.
+
+The effect of this is that the names of the @code{OBJDUMP},
+@code{DLLTOOL}, and @code{AS} tools are set up correct.
+
+If you are building a library, you will also need to pass
+@code{-no-undefined} to make sure Libtool produce a DLL for your
+library.  From a @file{Makefile.am}:
+
+@example
+libgsasl_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined
+@end example
