Are you sure about that? That's what nm says but I think gcc nm (&ld) is
misreading the implib  MS PSDK dumpbin shows the stdcall decoration. setapi.dll
is a strange one in that it can use a remote drive or a removeable drive for
swap file storage - this is in the dll image header.  Maybe the MS implib is a
bit strange as well.

To fix the problem, you need a def file and then rebuild the implib as per the
rest of the w32api implibs.  A submission to w32api maintainer will be in the
pipe tomorrow.
