It may be new.  I don't remember how it used to be done.  Possibly it was just
compiled into gcc.

I don't think I really solved your problem.  In fact, I may have just complicated
things with my suggestion.  I just don't remember what that version of the compiler
was like.

If gcc is choking on the __attribute__(dllexport) then my suggestion is probably
wrong.  Sorry.

Have you tried doing a compile with "gcc -v" and verifying that all of the paths
are as you'd expect?
