The current mingw-libltdl only package doesn't provide the libtool script. However, some packages not using autotools, such as qemu, require it for the cross-compilation to work, for example calling i686-w64-mingw32-libtool I suggest Fedora MinGW provide mingw32-libtool/mingw64-libtool along the ltdl library. The current mingw-libltdl source package should be deprecated then.
What's so special about this package that the regular native libtool package doesn't have? The only thing I can think of is the target-prefixed libtool script (i686-w64-mingw32-libtool). If this is the only thing and mingw-qemu really requires it then we can better add a wrapper script to the mingw-filesystem package (for which we already have the infrastructure in place)

A lot of variables/flags are different. A link wouldn't work afaict.
I can confirm, even the mingw32 and mingw64 libtool scripts are very different (program-prefix, gcc internal paths, and other differences...). Some comments: 1) There is a trick in the native libtool: to require specific version of gcc. The similar way could be used here for mingw32-gcc/mingw64-gcc: %global gcc_version 4.8.1 # /usr/bin/libtool includes paths within gcc's versioned directories # Libtool must be rebuilt whenever a new upstream gcc is built Requires: gcc = %{gcc_version} 2) It could be useful to add mingw32-gcc-c++ (and mingw64-gcc-c++) build dependency, otherwise the CXX part is strange (using native g++).
This review is probably stalled and can be closed within week according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_stalled_package_reviews .
I no longer need it, now that libcacard has been moved to a separate package. Feel free to reopen whoever want it.
