You presented your case well and I was waiting on someone familiar with
the code to respond.  I'm not sure that would be Kaz, he was just trying
to be helpful from his experiences.  I agree with your surmise that
Cygwin should perform similar results as Linux in this case.

Actually it would be binutils, regardless of Cygwin or MinGW, that is
trying to hide the complexity of needing to supply the
__declspec([export|import]) declarations.  The logic for that is a bit
confusing but if none is given then all symbols are exported.
