Comment(by nus):
It's worth noting that the Windows dynamic linker doesn't actually care
how the symbol names are prefixed. What matters is what PE/COFF section
the symbols with the prefixes end up after the partial linkage by GNU ld.
Cf. "The Imports Section" in [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/magazine/cc301808.aspx "An In-Depth Look into the Win32 Portable
Executable File Format, Part 2"] and "The .idata Section" in
[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463119.aspx "Microsoft
PE and COFF Specification"].
