Performance issue with GNU/ld and DLL

Kai,

I've reviewed the code and in fact the exports table is update by
def_file_add_export(). This routine insert the items at the good
location, keeping the table sorted.

The only location where the table is updated without using this routine
is in the process_def_file_and_directve line 780 in the section where @
is removed.

  /* Canonicalize the export list.  */
  if (pe_dll_kill_ats)

My patch sort the exports table only in this case and only when needed.

If I have not overlooked some other update the attached patch should be ok.

Comments?

Pascal.
