Good example.

errno appears to be a global variable for historical reasons, but errno 
is implemented as a macro that translates to a call to the imported 
function __errno.

This function call goes through a 64-bit import table from cygwin1.dll

Works fine with -mcmodel=small

Static sharing of a global variable between exe and dll, or between 
different dll's is not possible.
