AFAIK, MS-Windows DLLs may not have undefined symbols (which is what I
believe is what you mean by forwarded symbol), so they must be
*explicitly* linked with all libraries needed to resolve any symbols
it does not provide itself. But then, I may be wrong.
Anyway, I believe the egcs mailing list is not the proper place to
discuss this issue. Since dlltool is specific to cygwin, you'll
probably have more luck in a cygwin-specific mailing list.
