This patch deals with the generation of the import library on the fly.
The implementation is inefficient because the linker makes a lot of
calls to realloc and memmove when importing the symbols in order to
maintain a sorted list of symbols.
This is fixable by relying on the fact that, for every linked DLL,
the list of symbols it exports is already sorted so you can import
them en masse once you have found the insertion point.
