Can you describe how it doesn't work? It could be we can get binutils
fixed. :-)

I think we all want to make it so that PEACE doesn't need to keep all
those header diffs. If it's easy to get auto-import and auto-export to
work, we should do that.

Hmmm... One thing Tamura-san mentioned is that it's __libc_extern since
the macros expand to different things if you're compiling libc.dll or some
other dll. Jun-Young, how would auto-import and auto-export help that?

Take care,
