Hi!
I am trying to build a DLL which has function calls which must be
resolved into existing win32 DLL's.

Following the instructions for building a relocatable dll, i get an
output but each of the three ld steps reports all the undefined
references for the functions which are in the existing win32 dll's.  i
had to add the --noinhibit-exec option to ld so that it wouldn't delete
the output dll due to the errors.

when i build this project on solaris, the linker doesn't complain about
the undefined references, and they are resolved to appropriate existing
..so files at runtime.

is there some option i need to give ld so it knows i want to resolve the
references at runtime to the existing dll's?  or am i clueless?

thanks!
