Yes.

Apparently, on Linux the shared lib libresolve.so defines not only a
text symbol __res_query, it also defines something called a weak
symbol named res_query:

$ nm libresolv.so | grep res_query
00006640 T __res_query
00006880 T __res_querydomain
00006640 W res_query
00006880 W res_querydomain

While minres doesn't do the same:

$ nm /usr/lib/libresolv.dll.a | grep res_query
00000000 T ___res_querydomain
00000000 I __imp____res_querydomain
00000000 T ___res_query
00000000 I __imp____res_query

Does ld on Cygwin support weak symbols?  Or is it possible to
define __imp__res_query additionally to __imp____res_query?
