   Description
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    Cross-compiling to win32 from a unix system reveals a bug - the
    path-separator has been set to ";" depending on the target system. However,
    the crossgcc search_path_spec works in a unix-environment with unix-style
    directories and unix-stylish path_separator. The result: the
    search_path_spec is a single word still containing the ":" separators.
   </p>
   <p>
    This macro fixes the situation: when we see the libtool PATH_SEP to be ":"
    and search_path_spec to contain ":" characters, then these are replaced
    with spaces to let the resulting string work as a for-loop argument in
    libtool scripts that resolve -no-undefined libraries.
   </p>
   <p>
    Later libtool generations have fixed the situation with using
    $PATH_SEPARATOR in the first place as the original path delimiter that will
    be scanned for and replaced into spaces.
