bar.c:

__declspec (dllexport) char *bar = "Hi! I am bar.";

Compiled with:

gcc -c main.c foo.c bar.c
dllwrap --output-exp libfoo.exp --output-lib libfoo.a  --output-def
libfoo.def --dllname libfool --export-all-symbols foo.o
dllwrap --output-exp libbar.exp --output-lib libbar.a  --output-def
libbar.def --dllname libbar.dll --export-all-symbols bar.o
gcc -o main main.o

Unfortunately, this program prints nothing (that is, bar appears to be
found - but porbably points to wrong location).  IF I bind foo.o with
libbar.a (and declare bar in foo.c as dllimport) I get correct result.
The foo() in main() is correctly found.

TIA
