+LIBRARY ntdll
+
+; When we compile with -freestanding, the compiler still requires implementation
+; of the four functions listed below.
+;
+; We could implement our own naive versions of these functions, but that
+; solution is less than ideal since the implementations must be extern and are
+; thus picked up by the entire firefox.exe binary. This denies the rest of
+; firefox.exe the benefit of optimized implementations. On Windows the
+; sandbox is linked into firefox.exe, so we cannot just shrug and
+; assume that a naive implementation will not have any effect on anything.
+;
+; There are, however, optimized implementations of these functions that are
+; exported by ntdll.dll. OTOH, they are not included in the ntdll.lib
+; import library. This .def file is used to build an import library that "fills
+; in the blanks" and allows us to link into the ntdll implementations.
