DEF files aren't used on FreeBSD - on Windows, function names within a DLL are private to the DLL unless explicitly exported via the DEF file. On FreeBSD, all non-static function names within a .so are accessible from other .so files automatically. So you should be able to create an empty DEF file to satisfy the FreeBSD SSCLI build.
That also simplifies our earlier thread on dllbase.txt: the values are relevant only on Windows.
