Yes, this works better, but I'm curious why the gcc people don't support it? Did you check the mingw docu for this feature?
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5712741
is the only reference I could find on any the mingw mailing lists - a mingw-user saying he'd never heard of delay loading.
The ld documentation certainly doesn't mention delay loading and I can't find a reference on the binutils mailing list.
MS: /DELAYLOAD Borland: -d Irix: -delay_load winebuild: -d and --delay-lib
so I would suggest either -delay_load or (my favourite) -delay-load.
It doesn't really matter if we have it first - we can always change it later. In any case, we need to have our own extensions - eg to stop winewrap creating a wrapper script.
PS. Alexandre, are my winegcc patches OK or should I rewrite them in Perl ? :-)
