I can't get this to work. Whenever I link with the import lib produced
this way, the resulting program crashes with a STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION.
(See attached code.) I don't even need to call any of the DLL functions
to trigger it -- just linking with -lfoo makes it unworkable. What am I
doing wrong?

And where is all this stuff documented anyway? The ld docs mention
--export-all-symbols (not --export-all), but not any of the others.
