MIPS uses more than just DIR32 relocs, which would make dlltool much
less usable (nobody can generate useful exp files).  Use the linker
(ld) to build dlls.  Is there something you needed to do that the
linker can't already do?

I use microsoft's DUMPBIN program, but really the only thing that
*really* knows if a PE file is valid is the OS that is going to run
it, which often disagrees with dumpbin *and* the PE spec.
