I've rewritten speclib (for the third or fourth time).  It should use a
more foolproof method to create the .a files.  The output from "objdump
-p" still shows separate "DLL Name" sections whenever one of these
special libraries is used but hopefully this is no longer an issue
since the import libraries should now be well-formed.

Can you confirm if this fixes the problem Dave?
