Huh? Ben you added the definition yourself. It will be in B20:
Tue Sep 15 18:36:08 1998 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* sysdef/kernel32.def: Add definition for the Win32 API function
`TryEnterCriticalSection'.
This is a non-issue. We can't retroactively add the definitions to
previous stub libraries. "We" (i.e., Ben) did add them to Cygnus def
files and therefore they will be in B20.
