+       * configure.in: Add check for realpath function.
+       * configure: Regenerate.
+       * config.in: Regenerate.
+       * aclocal.m4: Regenerate.
+       * deffile.h: Add .data field to def_file_import
+       structure.
+       * pe-dll.c (pe_proces_import_defs): Use .data field of
+       def_file_import structure to initialize flag_data field of
+       def_file_export structure.
+       (pe_implied_import_dll): New variables exp_funcbase and
+       [data|bss]_[start|end].  Use DLL's internal name to set dll_name,
+       not filename (which may be a symlink).  Scan the sections and
+       initialize [data|bss]_[start|end].  When scanning the export
+       table, skip _nm_ symbols, and mark any symbols whose rva indicates
+       that it is in the .bss or .data sections as data.
+       * sysdep.h: Include limits.h and sys/param.h, and define
+       LD_PATHMAX as appropriate.  Also define REALPATH as realpath if it
+       exists, NULL otherwise.
+       * emultempl/pe.em (gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_after_open): Call
+       pe_process_import_defs before pe_find_data_imports, so that
+       auto-import will check the virtual implib as well as "real"
+       implibs.
+       (gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_recognized_file): Use REALPATH to follow
+       symlinks to their target; check that the target's extension is
+       .dll before calling pe_implied_import_dll(), not the filename
+       itself (which may be a symlink).

        * emultempl/elf32.em (struct orphan_save): Add os_tail field.
