It's irrelevant. The option is accepted but silently ignored, because
PE doesn't have anything analogous to the ELF DT_NEEDED tag. If you
specify a lib on the link command line but no symbols in it are
referenced from the program being linked, it's a no-op, so the problem
that this option was invented to solve doesn't exist there.
