digitalmars.D.learn - DMD's kernel32.lib missing symbols?

Not sure how I can search for symbols in the library, but it seems the

I've tried using coffimplib on kernel32.lib from the Windows SDK, but it 
neither produces a new library or give me an error.

What Windows version is the library based on?
How can I check what symbols exists?
Is there a way to convert WinSDK's library to omf?

Shows how to make your own import lib for windows system dll:

Been ages since I did that though so let me know if you have problems.

I've tried using implib too, but replacing dmd's own kernel32.lib seems 
to create problems.

What sort of problems? It's worked perfectly for me so far.

As this didn't work, I recompiled druntime and phobos with the new

Both those symbols are definitely present in the kernel32.lib that comes 
with DMD 2.053.  Just grep for them and you'll see.  There is something 
going on with either your DMD install or the command line passed to the 
linker.

These errors comes after replacing kernel32.lib in dmd. Not sure if that 
was clear from my post.

How is kernel32.lib supplied with dmd created?

This is a simple test showing a missing symbol:
pragma(lib, "kernel32.lib");
extern(Windows) {
     uint LocaleNameToLCID(const(wchar)*, int);
}

void main() {
     auto us = LocaleNameToLCID("en-US", 0);
}

The implib created file is different from the one in the distribution, 
but I have no idea what this means:

Hmmm.. Got coffimplib working. No idea what I did to break it before.
