 After someone asked about producing DLLs with 'arm-elf', I
remembered somewhere being instructions for creating DLLs
with ARM... The 'gcc/config/arm/README-interworking' in the
GCC-sources seemed to be that. The part '10.', "How to use
dlltool to build ARM/Thumb DLLs" in this document should
teach something about this.

 Generally the GCC-manual would need fixing with the dllimport
and dllexport issue, these are documented to be supported with
the Cygwin-version for WinNT/PowerPC only, but the BeOS/i386
(ELF-format), ARM/pe, MCORE/pe, MIPS/pe, SH/pe and of course
the Cygwin/Mingw/pe on i386 should support these attributes
too... Someone recently works with porting Mingw to WinNT/Alpha
and also this unofficial 'PE'-port should have this support.
But unfortunately not the 'arm-elf' target.

Cheers, Kai
