[ros-dev] advapi self forwarding and kernel32 self imports

[Timo Kreuzer]

Hi,

1.) Is there a reason, why some exports of advapi32 are forwarded
instead of just set to the proper function? Forwarding is more work for
the loader.

2.) kernel32 imports from itself. Which will probably lead to the same
result as bug 4292.
This is because the mingw lib imports from kernel32 and requires
kernel32 library to be added afterwards. But rbuild likes to add mingw
lib at the very end of the library list which requires adding kernel32
as a library to mingw_common to resolve imports. This should be fixed
and mingw added as the very first library.

I wonder if those 2 are even allowed on Windows, as both don't make sense.
