    PR 34204 dlltool SEGVs with --exclude-symbols
    
    This fixes a segfault introduced by commit 45a7f5a29de7 which didn't
    take into account that there was a use of leading_underscore in option
    processing.
    
            PR 34204
            * dlltool.c (struct string_list): Make string a flexible array
            member.
            (add_excludes): Adjust to suit.  Extract code adding underscore
            and informing..
            (underscore_excludes): ..to here.  New function.
            (main): Call underscore_excludes.
