One of the upcoming changes I am planning is to improve handling of import libraries. I can try to make it more "microsoft"-ish rather than "windows"-ish, but then again, there are a lot of Windows checks already, and if I can hook into them I probably will. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18649#issuecomment-2055933013
