Generating Windows DLL

Generating Windows DLL

[Garfield Lewis]

Hi,

I am trying to create a Windows dll and it has gone very well. However, I
am unable to create a DLL that does not have the relocations stripped away.
I've tried the --emit-relocs option but this does not seem to work. I am
running the following version of ld:

GNU ld version 2.13.90 20030308

According to the documentaiton I can find this should support the
--emit-relocs option so I am not sure why the relocations are being
stripped:

Microsoft (R) COFF Binary File Dumper Version 6.00.8447

                   Line numbers stripped
                   DLL
