Binutils will handle .lib as well as .dll libraries so creating import 
libraries of a different suffix seems meaningless.  I forget what the order of 
search for the library is but .dll.a takes precedence over .a unless -static is 
used.  There may be an issue with c++ libraries which require objects built by 
the same compiler (including version) to work around those issues you use a 
wrapper C library to load and make the calls to the c++ methods.
