Here's the same transcript with arm-wince-pe:

$ cat elishacuthbert.def
LIBRARY elishacuthbert.dll
EXPORTS
gorgeous
$ arm-wince-pe-dlltool -d elishacuthbert.def -l libelishacuthbert.a
$ arm-wince-pe-objdump -t libelishacuthbert.a | grep gorgeous
[  7](sec  1)(fl 0x00)(ty   0)(scl   2) (nx 0) 0x00000000 gorgeous
[  8](sec  5)(fl 0x00)(ty   0)(scl   2) (nx 0) 0x00000000 __imp_gorgeous

Notice there's no leading underscore. Now with -N:

$ arm-wince-pe-dlltool -N -d elishacuthbert.def -l libelishacuthbert.a
$ arm-wince-pe-objdump -t libelishacuthbert.a | grep gorgeous
[  7](sec  1)(fl 0x00)(ty   0)(scl   2) (nx 0) 0x00000000 _gorgeous
[  8](sec  5)(fl 0x00)(ty   0)(scl   2) (nx 0) 0x00000000 __imp_gorgeous

Notice that this still differs from your above example,
__imp__gorgeous, which has an additional underscore.

Cheers,
Shaun
