When using an import library produced by --out-implib with MSVC, the Microsoft
linker reports this warning:
pcre.lib(d000004.o) : warning LNK4078: multiple '.text' sections found with
different attributes (E0000020)
The resulting executable crashes immediately when a function in the library is
called.
Workaround: If I instead produce a .def file with --output-def, I can use
Microsoft's lib.exe to create an import library that works correctly - no link
warning and no problems using the dll from the MSVC compiled application.
Specifics: Windows Vista x64, MSVC 9.0, 32 bit build environment, ld.exe version
2.17.50 20060824, gcc 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3), compiling PCRE 7.7.
