You've probably fallen into the trap of *declaring* _sys_nerr as an
external variable without importing it from the DLL. 

Check for the following in your code:
  
  extern int _sys_nerr;

which is incorrect. Remove that and use the definition from <errno.h>,
which is:

  extern int _sys_nerr __declspec(dllimport);
