[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

Thank you for your bug report.

I do not see that Libtool supports ml64, the Microsoft Macro Assembler.
The error you received is for not using the --tag option. Since there
are different configurations for the different tags, it is important to
specify the intended configuration. However, an unsupported compiler
could be used with a supported tag, which would lead to issues with
object and library creation. I will work on a fix for this bug, but this
commit [1] should help users understand tagging better.

Since ml64 is unsupported, I suggest recreating the file in C, and then,
the C compiler could be used to generate an assembly file to link within
a library. However, it would be better to add assembly compilation to
Libtool.
