If that works, use it. I don't know why people keep saying that dlltool is obsolete or deprecated. It does things that ld --shared cannot do. Building the mingw runtime and w32api import libs depend on it. There was a discussuion on the cygwin lists some time ago about adding --non-relocatable switch to ld, simply by stripping the .reloc section. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-07/msg00041.html Maybe that could be re-visited. In any event, discussion should probably on binutils list.
