OK. I assume you mean to resubmit to binutils list.

I disagree that is a good idea. I like to now about unresolved data
references. I would really like to see how --auto-import works with
new C++ ABI before I am comfortable with that switch being on by
default.
I've been playing with a little trick of marking _functions_ in def
files as DATA so that only the _imp__foo name is visible in the import
lib. This lets me hide some of the bogons in MS libs so that I can use
the standard function names in a better behaved replacement version
without any worry of duplicated definitions, but still get to the MS
one when I need to. Never mind, I can find another trick. I won't use
gcc -shared to build those libs but use dlltool instead.
At least I think the warnings should be active by default.
