If you want it to be possible to compile your program for a native Windows
platform and you use Libtool, you need to use the @code{win32-dll} option of
@code{LT_INIT}. In other words, put:

@example
LT_INIT([win32-dll])
@end example

in your @file{configure.ac}.  This sets the correct names for the
@code{OBJDUMP}, @code{DLLTOOL}, and @code{AS} tools for the build.

If you are building a library, you will also need to pass
@code{-no-undefined} to make sure Libtool produces a DLL for your
library.  From a @file{Makefile.am}:

@example
libgsasl_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined
@end example
