you can produce a def file as well if you like:
-Wl,--output-def=$module.def

so I see no reason for dlltool.
I.e.: I maintain a local port of PCRE for MinGW & Cygwin where I work 
(the packaged version is hopelessly out of date) and I don't use dlltool 
for it - but I do produce .lib files which are used with MSVC (using 
MinGW) and .a files for both Cygwin and MinGW - as well as .def files.

But hey: "quand on aime, on ne compte pas :)"
