    COFF: Support import-by-ordinal DLL imports. · fd99e01b
    Rui Ueyama authored
    Symbols exported by DLLs can be imported not by name but by
    small number or ordinal. Usually, symbols have both ordinals
    and names, and in that case ordinals are called "hints" and
    used by the loader as hints.
    
    However, symbols can have only ordinals. They are called
    import-by-ordinal symbols. You need to manage ordinals by hand
    so that they will never change if you choose to use the feature.
    But it's supposed to make dynamic linking faster because
    it needs no string comparison. Not sure if that claim still
    stands in year 2015, though. Anyways, the feature exists,
    and this patch implements that.
