RE: RE: MSVC compiler support [patch 11]: CRUFT.DLL exported symbols (Fortran)

[michael . goffioul]

Note that in the patch, I also moved the compiler-specific flags "-EHs -MD"
at the first position. I did it because when I run the configure script, I specify
the build host as i686-pc-msdosmsvc. However this case is catched by the
first choice (which catches i686-*-*) and the flags are not correctly set.

See attached patch for another proposal. It creates a .def file for each
fortran file and concatenates everything at the end. The dependency on
cruft.def is only active when the canonical host type contains msdosmsvc
(this could also be moved to configure script by putting a @...@ tag
for libraries dependencies).
