Gautam:

You are going to have to provide additional information about your build
environment.  What tool chain are you using?  (compiler, sdk, wdk) and
more of the build output leading up to the failure.

afseventmsg_xxxx.dll libraries are resource only dlls.  They don't have
entry points.  Therefore, there should be no definition of a DllMain and
no import of a CRT startup function.

An examination of the afseventmsg_xxxx.dll libraries built by OpenAFS
show this:

Dump of file root.server\usr\afs\bin\afseventmsg_1032.dll

File Type: DLL

  Summary

        2000 .rsrc

There are no imports or exports.
