def file that causes syntax error

I am trying to make a lib for version.dll, a MS DLL. Dlltool reports syntax
error on version.def. If I remove the library line (the first line) from
version.def and export is the first line, dlltool doesn't complain. pexports
crashes but does produce a normal to me def file. I haven't tested the
resulting lib file in both scenarios (with library line and without), but in
the syntax error scenario, the lib file is definitely broken. Using a debugger,
I traced the syntax error to inside yyparse().

C:\sources\MinGW\include>pexports -h winver.h C:/WINDOWS/system32/version.dll >
version.def

C:\sources\MinGW\include>dlltool -l libversion.a -v --def version.def
dlltool: Processing def file: version.def
dlltool: LIBRARY:  base: ffffffff
