EGCS-1.1.1 (from my site) produce forward slashes, albeit with a drive
specifier. EGCS-1.1.2 will do the same, and the changes are now in the 
dev branch. Does this still pose a problem for libtool (other than the
issue of executable file extensions, which I believe you've fixed
already)?
I've lobbied unsuccessfully to get GCC et al to use POSIX-only pathnames.
The only rationale for using the current scheme is if GCC execs a native 
program, but currently that's not the case and will not be in the near 
foreseeable future.
