Hi,
there was somewhere a description how a dll is build with mingw. The
link process must run three rounds through dlltool/ld. I'm not sure if
this helps. I've found some problems which are similar to the import
table problem. Sometimes the relocation table contains entries for
itself. Some time ago I've add a check for this. Scsiport.sys was my
candidate.
