Good point!

After applying the above fix to apr.h I've tried with libapr.a
created with both

dlltool --output-lib libapr.a -U --input-def libapr.def
dlltool --output-lib libapr.a --input-def libapr.def

and it successfully links with both versions. Checking the created
assembly of main.o reveals that after the above fix the code
references e.g. '__imp__apr_initialize@0' and those names are
completely unaffected by -U.

Best,
Michael
