Other then changing `lib/MC/WinCOFFStreamer.cpp` to not use -aligncomm within the EmitCommonSymbol function and a single patch for mingw-w64 itself to pre-populate it's .ctors and .dtors list, so llvm-dlltool is infact the only missing part really. This gives us a fully working clang based mingw-w64 C compiler. C++ and exception handling is a different story. li...

Hey llvm'ers, I have been working on a dlltool replacement for llvm. Here is my initial differential https://reviews.llvm.org/D29892 It is based on some functionality that already exists in lld. I added functionality to support, PE COFF Weak Externals and of course a front end to actually use it. I believe the work here can also be used for llvm-lib and lessen the load on lld. I would like
