Recent importlib changes

[Steven Edwards]

Hola,
With the recent import lib changes on almost everything I try and build 
I am getting these errors. When using the win32api package from mingw 
prior to this patch these functions were exported.

Thanks
Steven

It's an ld bug. Currently ld could not use forwarded references in import
libraries. I reported that bug almost 1.5 years ago in the binutils mailing
list, but it seems nobody interested in fixing it.

Moreover, in order to eliminate decorated (@xx) names in the dll export table
you need to apply the attached patch and use latest binutils. But unfortunately
even it doesn't resolve many other issues with dll linking.

I remember we discussed this a while back. Thanks for the patch, I will 
give it a shot tonight as I just upgraded my gcc, mingw, msys and 
binutils to the latest revs.

Thanks

I apply'd your patch and tested in my latest build enviroment and I 
still get the same problems. Is there another way around this bug? If 
not I will get on the binutils guys double time.

Thanks

As were said, my patch solves completely another problem.

This should be fixed by the latest winebuild changes.
