For most functions I indeed see this trampoline trick within the binary.

Looking a little further, it seems the problematic functions are those 
directly assembled from assembly code.
That was the case of mpn_store on x86_64.

And when I remove all dllimport, the call to the function mpn_addadd_n 
also gives a segfault when executing t-addadd_n.exe.

Note that the test t-aors.exe does not segfault, and indeed it only uses 
the mpn_add_1 and mpn_sub_1 functions which are not from assembly.

I'll now try to produce a minimal example.


(I've tried GCC 4.7.3 and it gives the same result.)

Best,
JP
