Thanks again Earnie.
Sorry about top posting. Not used to sending mails to forums.
I still have issues with using the -Wl,relocatable and -shared options together.

So, for the two commands you suggested:
(1) gcc -shared -o bar.dll bar.o -Wl,--out-implib,libbar.dll.a
(2) gcc -Wl,-relocatable -shared -o bar.dll bar.o -Wl,--out-implib,libbar.dll.a

Step (1) works. Get linker errors for step (2). I hope I got all the options right in step (2).
