Well, functions either has an ordinal or a @.
If it has a @ it is means that it doesn't matter
what the ordinal is, that winebuild can assign any
ordinal it likes for the function.

You mean different versions?

Anyway, Wine has no support for it, because none is really needed,
because any application that tries to access functions by ordinal
that doesn't have a fixed ordinal across DLL version is
broken even on Windows.
