In SHFLAGS, "-Wl,--output-def,$(@:$(SLIBSUF)=.def)" is responsible for 
creating the DEF file. Isn't there something similar for OS/2? (letting 
the compiler create the DEF file when building the shared library).

In SLIB_EXTRA_CMD, the lib command creates a LIB file from the DEF file. 
The output filename is implicit.
