The difference is that for code generated by a different compiler (like
VC), which has in object code references to __imp_<symbol> it can be still
resolved. The marking by DATA just keeps the __imp_<symbol>, so it is
still resolvable. If we would simply remove it, those symbols wouldn't be
any longer being resolvable, which is a major issue in mixing gcc
(mingw-w64) generated code and other compiler generated code.
