I think this should be:

gcc -shared -g -O2 -Wall -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base
-Wl,--out-implib=.lib/libname.dll.a -Wl,--export-all-symbols -o
./libs/libname.dll a.lo b.lo c.lo

That is, '-Wl,--out-implib=' not '-Wl,--out-imp-lib'
'-Wl,--export-all-symbols' not '-export-dynamic'

This second one is why you had no exports -- the linker never saw the
'--export-dynamic' command because gcc ate and ignored it (plus, even if
the linker saw '--export-dynamic' it would ignore it, too, because it's
the wrong command).

If you want ld to write the <in-memory, auto-generated> def-file to
disk, then you need '-Wl,--output-def=.libs/libname.def'
