Here's an example from elsewhere in Makefile.shlib:

# If SHLIB_EXPORTS is set, the rules below will build a .def file from that.
# Else we just use --export-all-symbols.
ifeq (,$(SHLIB_EXPORTS))
$(shlib): $(OBJS) | $(SHLIB_PREREQS)
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS)  -shared -static-libgcc -o $@  $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS_SL) $(SHLIB_LINK) $(LIBS) -Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--out-implib=$(stlib)
else
DLL_DEFFILE = lib$(NAME)dll.def

$(shlib): $(OBJS) $(DLL_DEFFILE) | $(SHLIB_PREREQS)
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS)  -shared -static-libgcc -o $@  $(OBJS) $(DLL_DEFFILE) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS_SL) $(SHLIB_LINK) $(LIBS) -Wl,--out-implib=$(stlib)

UC_NAME = $(shell echo $(NAME) | tr 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ')

$(DLL_DEFFILE): $(SHLIB_EXPORTS)
	echo 'LIBRARY LIB$(UC_NAME).dll' >$@
	echo 'EXPORTS' >>$@
	sed -e '/^#/d' -e 's/^\(.*[ 	]\)\([0-9][0-9]*\)/    \1@ \2/' $< >>$@
