[patch] ld [pei]: Do not produce code thunks for DATA exports

[Paul Sokolovsky]

Hello binutils,

  This is forward port of the same facility in dlltool. It is very
important to distinguish between data and text exports, and generate
appropriate to each type implib info, otherwise careless using dlls
may cause confusing runtime segfaults, whereas with this patch there
will be a link error.

  Also note that this patch deduces DATA flag only for explicit
.def/auto-export case; there are also cases of specifying exports in
.drectve, and linking directly against dll. I'll go for them later.

2000-10-04  Paul Sokolovsky  <Paul.Sokolovsky@technologist.com>

        * pe-dll.c (make_one): Do not generate code thunk for DATA
        exports. (process_def_file): deduce DATA flag for
        auto-export sumbols.
