Every binutils I try for mingw gives me this problem. I have not been able to find documentation for the private flag for binutils either. I guess I can build it from CVS but do the function have to be marked as private? I have been using WINE dlls for testing applications with this disabled and have not had any problems so far.
It only affects import libs, so the dlls will still work. And actually the import libs will mostly work too, unless you link an app that tries to do something stupid. It's mainly needed for building the dlls with MS tools, so in your case it's OK to remove it. Just don't expect me to commit that patch <g>
