This looks very interesting indeed. The technique of turning unresolved
imports into data items that can be fixed up at runtime thus letting the
windows runtime loaded accept the dll is a clever trick, and it occurs to me
that it might be worth adopting the same technique directly in the binutils
toolchain itself.
Thanks for your valuable contribution!
