The MingW team. However, the symbols in ntdll.def are there already for
a long time and they are apparently ok even though it rolls up my toe nails.
Also, the fact that 9x has only a limited set of functions in this DLL
doesn't mean that the NT symbols shouldn't be present.
Explicit linking against ntdll is the problem here. I guess the "right
thing" would be to link against -lcygwin first.
