Default handling of --enable-auto-import has changed slightly. In the
earlier cygwin release of binutils, --enable-auto-import was the
default, and ld would issue warnings whenever variables from DLLs were
auto-imported. Also, in the past if you explicitly specified
"--enable-auto-import", the behavior was the same: auto-import was
activated, and warnings were generated.
In this new release, auto-import is still enabled by default. Whenever
variables from DLLs are auto-imported, ld issues an info_msg (not a
warning). However, if you explicitly specify "--enable-auto-import",
then those info_msgs are suppressed.
