I have found that dlltool can do the equivalent of IMPLIB. Doing
"dlltool --help" gives just enough info to figure it out. All I've
had to do is:
dlltool --output-lib somedll.a --dllname somedll.dll
This will create the ".a" file for linking with ld. It can take quite
a while to run but it seems to work fine. I've used this method to
actually build a lib for X11 from an X11.dll file I found on the net
somewhere and it worked great.
