Hi Levente,

It's correct that mingw64_env contains this libtool export and
mingw32_env doesn't. The reason behind this is that to build .dll
libraries for win64 you need a recent libtool (one which is familiar
with the x86_64-w64-mingw32 triplet). Most of the Fedora mingw32-*
packages were built using an too old libtool resulting in only static
libraries being built. Instead of manually running libtoolize in most
mingw-* packages (to get a recent enough libtool in place) I added a
global libtool export which is set during the build for all win64
packages.

Kind regards,
