Requesting ability to redirect and import by ordinal, as shown above.
>From what I can tell so far, that is also the syntax used in the Export Adress
Table of the DLL, and the linker is over-validating input in DEF
files/.drective sections.
Thus, above syntax becomes invalid.

For testing, I used gcc 8.1.0 and binutils 2.30 from Mingw-w64, then I replaced
binutils manually with 2.32 in the end.



To prove my point, I have attached a testcase, and instructions for using
testcase:

1. Adjust path to compiler accordingly, in .bat file. Compile.
This will create the main .exe and a proxy dll containing invalid name
redirect.
2. Open test.dll in favorite hex editor, look up "ws2_32.Z11" from EAT and
replace with "ws2_32.#11".
3. Run main .exe in console. It should produce same result, through both direct
and proxy dll path.
