Guys, why not just use a HERE or an echo?  Instead of this statement

$run eval "${SED} -e '1iEXPORTS'"' < "$export_symbols" > 
"$output_objdir/$output.def"'

Just change it to these two statements using >> instead of > for the 
second one.

$run eval "${ECHO} EXPORTS "'> "$output_objdir/$output.def"'
$run eval "${SED} -n -e 'p'"' < "$export_symbols" >> 
"$output_objdir/$output.def"'

That should work, right, if the -n option to sed is universal?  (there's 
one other place where you have to do the same thing).

BTW, I believe I tried albert chin's suggestion, but it didn't work 
because I couldn't encode the newline properly or something, given the 
wierd $run eval construction.
