Some X import libraries built by older binutils?

While researching a problem on the cygwin mailing list, I did an
"nm libX11.a" and noticed that it contained some reexported autoload
symbols from the cygwin import library.

On checking with Chuck Wilson, I confirmed that this is a problem with
older versions of binutils.  Rebuilding things with the current release
version (binutils-20030307-1) should fix this problem.

I don't think it's worth releasing a new version of the import libraries
since this obviously isn't causing anyone any harm but it would probably
be a good idea to update to the newest version of binutils prior to releasing
any further libraries.
