#666 timeGetTime incorrectly exported via kernel32 implib for x64
Hi,
Some change (maybe 8d449b92ef2ae63dadc7e4b4ac67d63b4b8f00d4 ?) in the recent month or so caused that libkernel32.a now unexpectedly exports the timeGetTime() function, while also being (correctly) exported via libwinmm.a. The end result is that an app trying call this function and correctly linking libwinmm.a and both libkernel32.a will not be linked to winmm.dll at startup, instead the function will be looked up inside kernel32.dll, where it's not present, causing the error: ~no entry point for timeGetTime in kernel32.dll. x86 (32-bit) binaries are unaffected.
Tested with MSYS2, where this packages fails: mingw-w64-x86_64-crt-git-5.0.0.4963.b912d5d1
This worked: mingw-w64-x86_64-crt-git-5.0.0.4889.81b4f0e2
Failing example: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/4lh7whpeaue557b8/artifacts/harbour-snapshot-win.7z
Last known good example: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/qbr6x0vmmimvnmsn/artifacts/harbour-snapshot-win.7z
Look for the binary bin/harbour.exe

This is the price for 'unification'. Sigh..
The offending exports seem to have com from arm32 version of kernel32.def

If the time functions' export from kernel32 is an arm thing, it will need adjusting
accordingly.

Fixed in latest master in https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/ci/705bdc43a143e39bb55bfc1369edc769b4271654/ - sorry about this.
I don't think they really need to be exported on arm, since they did exist in the original arm version of winmm.def as well.
I'm sorry about the occasional breakage due to the unification - I did a reasonable effort to reduce the risk of breakage but I didn't expect this kind of issue in the source files. Thanks for testing the latest master!
Martin, Ozkan: Thank you guys for the quick fix. I've submitted an update for the MSYS2 package: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/pull/2896
Sch things happen always, so no worries :)
Closing as fixed.
