Both the extern prototype and the function call are in dllhello.C.  Thus it
does see the prototype.  As a further note and after further testing, if I
use implib on other.dll, I get the export list.  If I add an alias in the
.def file

InitAPI AT 4
InitAPI=InitAPI AT 4

then use dlltool to create the library, I can link against that library
successfully.

So it seems clear that --enable-stdcall-fixup isn't working as advertised.

Any idea why?
