[Mingw-users] A old bug in dlltool (was Candidate: MinGW-3.2.0-rc-2.exe)

[Hartmut B. <har...@gm...>]

Hi,

dlltool from the release candidat has an old bug. If an interface 
(import) library is created from a definition file which contains 
foreward references to an other dll, the foreward references are put in 
the import library instead the exported name. I mean lines lik this:

ScsiPortConvertUlongToPhysicalAddress@4=NTOSKRNL.RtlConvertUlongToLargeInteger

The import library must contain 'ScsiPortConvertUlongToPhysicalAddress' 
but they does contain 'NTOSKRNL.RtlConvertUlongToLargeInteger'. Dlltool 
from binutils 2.15.90 works perfect. The bug does break compiling 
reactos with the current release candidat. I would like it if someone 
can fix this bug in the near future.
