I don't think the append-.dll-suffix-if-there's-no-suffix magic applies
to dlltool's --dllname switch?  I think we need to tweak cegcc's
mingw/Makefile.in like so:

mingw/Makefile.in:
libceoldname.a: moldname-coredll.def $(MOLD_OBJS)
        $(DLLTOOL) --as $(AS) -k -U     \
-                --dllname COREDLL       \
+               --dllname COREDLL.dll       \
                --def moldname-coredll.def      \

I see that sourceware mingw has explicit .dll suffixes
in the *oldname.a rules:
