I have found that dlltool can do the equivalent of IMPLIB. Doing 
"dlltool --help" gives just enough info to figure it out. All I've 
had to do is:

    dlltool --output-lib somedll.a --dllname somedll.dll

This will create the ".a" file for linking with ld. It can take quite 
a while to run but it seems to work fine. I've used this method to 
actually build a lib for X11 from an X11.dll file I found on the net 
somewhere and it worked great.
