I'm trying to accomplish the same thing for an up-to-date version
of cygwin.

The build seems to fail at the same command:

In the glib source directory, `./libtool --version' gives

  ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.6 (1.1220.2.95 2004/04/11 05:50:42)

and `libtool --version' shows 

  ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.10 (1.1220.2.131 2004/09/19
  12:46:56)

I don't know, why the versions differ... however, using
`autoreconf' as suggested earlier fails:

After that, `./configure' fails with:

checking value of POLLERR... 8

Any idea that helps is appreciated.
