You missed the crucial information, _what_ function is not implemented.

Normally missing GDI32 functions are only called when using native XP core
dlls (user32, perhaps comctl32, comdlg32 and shell32 ) too, which will lead
to other errors too.

The .spec file is the source. Add the functionname, the arguments and the
stub function name there. Implement the stub function in an appropriate C
File in dlls/gdi32.

If you see that you need more stub functions, perhaps consider adding a new
file for all those unimplemented functions.
