That's not going to work for importlibs that contain object files.
I also think we should be moving away from .def files, instead of
relying more on them.

Yes, that's a limitation, but Wine doesn't seem to need it.

If we want to keep generating delay importlibs for mingw ld, we need to 
make it conditional on the toolchain, like:

Would you prefer something like that?
