I'm about to submit patches for dlltool that will build the BFD's in
memory. However, I have no clue how to do this for non-i386pe targets,
so I'll just submit what I have and hope that Nick and others can fill
in the rest. My changes are essentially DJ's pe-dll retrofitted into
dlltool, with a few tweaks. Needs testing and cleanup.
Ideas, Nick?
