Re: libtool with mingw hangs building openocd in func_convert_core_msys_to_w32

[Dietmar May <dietmar.may@outlook.com>]

Jonathan Yong is correct - removing --build allows make to complete 
without error using the unmodified ltmain.sh

There's still the issue of generating a call to cmd.exe with an invalid 
switch (//c), which will cause it to hang indefinitely if ever invoked.

The risk of breaking anything by fixing this seems like nil.
