[Bug binutils/10768] New: dlltool: can't specify machine arch when creating .lib from .def file

[yann at droneaud dot fr]

I'm creating an import library for a proprietary DLL using a hand made .def 
file.

The following command fail:

arm-mingw32ce-dlltool -d libGLES_CM.def -D libGLES_CM.dll -l libGLES_CM.lib -m
$MACHINE

with MACHINE either arm or thumb, it failed with a strange message:

"Can't open .lib file: libGLES_CM.lib."

Using strace, one can see dlltool removing libGLES_CM.lib before failing.

Hopefully, removing -m thumb/arm, dlltool works and produces a .lib that can be
used on my target.

So either -m is not needed here and needed a proper error message/handling, or
this is a bug and i have luck to have a working .lib.
