Hum, then there is two things I failed to understand.
1) in Makefile.inc:
OS = $(shell uname -s)
uname suppose to work on Windows? Log at end of message shows it does
not.

2) How are you suppose to run libtool without MSYS?
There is indeed
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/libtool-1.5.14-mingwPORT.tar.bz2?download
but inside it I can read in the readme:
  1)Every mingwPORT requires MSYS, see http://www.mingw.org for download 
   instructions.
This make sense for libtool to require MSYS since it require to run
./configure
before making libtool.

I did download the make port on MinGW web site, changed the Makefile to
be:
...
#PLATFORM=unix
PLATFORM=mingw
#PLATFORM=beos
...

and then issued the mingw32-make command with the following result:
C:\msys\1.0\home\paul\Slate\slate-current-1>mingw32-make
