 Hi Bill,

Would you know what the equivalent mingw gcc flag for MSVC's
/implib:foo.lib flag is ?
This overrides the default name and location that the linker uses to
produce a DLLs' import library.

I added some linking tricks on Windows and Linux for supporting the
new --import funtionality and it seems that hardcoding /implib: is not
going to work well on mingw or will it ?

Right.

Here's the patch I use (for JCC 2.9.1) on mingw:

Thanks !
