The hint ordinal should provide > the same performance as an ordinal-only-link. By default ld does not use ordinals or linking. Only when an import lib does not contain names in the _nm_vector, ld takes the ordinal for linking (identified by flag_noname in pe-dll.c/ei386pe.c). Thats what I have used. I have patched ld to write the import library only with ordinals and ld does the rest. Only an additional patch for auto-imported date was necessary. (see the patch) Ralf
