More relocatable dll woes

It would appear that the export table of a dll, and the set of defined
symbols from a .lib file, don't always match up. This is causing me
problems trying to run my relocatable dll, which complains it can't
find a symbol in a dll it references. Typically what happens is that
the import mechanism is referencing _foo, whereas the export mechanism
has defined foo. I include some examples of this from kernel32.a It
isn't clear to me, but I assume that ld is responsible for building
the import table of the dll it is producing, in which case I have to
assume that link is doing some magic when producing this in order to
make the matchup work. Can anyone shed any light on this?
