Comment(by batterseapower):
A clever way to fix this upstream would be to change binutils ld so it
generates an import library that exports > 65k symbols by using stubs for
the "overflow" symbols that decide where to jmp to by just taking a
constant offset from the address of some other exported thing.
However, such a change would mean that you could not discard the generated
import libraries any more (true in some circumstances today anyway) and
would likely take forever to work its way downstream.
