My guess is that we're linking to some symbol that went away in WM7, and so it's not being found in coredll.  This is unfortunately a pain to track down; easiest way would probably be to generate a SDK from platfrom builder and then attempt to build against that SDK.  Another alternative is to extract a copy of coredll.dll (and other dlls) from the device and use dependency walker, though that would have to be done before they're built into a rom image.

WinCE/Windows Mobile support has been removed from the main build system, Spidermonkey, mobile installer, in-app updater and so on (see bug 614720, bug 554087 and all their dependants). Until such point where MS decide to release a Windows Phone 7 NDK and the decision is made to port to that platform, this is WONTFIX.
